An article in The Dallas Morning News in the June 12, 2011, issue, “Accomplish More by Doing Less” by NewsUSA on page on 1J encourages job seekers to take control of their lives using the following strategies:
Stop doing the time wasters. You need to make a close analysis of how you are using your time. Planning aids such as a Day-Timer can be helpful. We tend to spent more time doing what we enjoy (perhaps watching television) than productive tasks directed toward a job search.
Put a junk filter on your life and just say no. Frequently individuals received requests to do this and that. It is easy to become over scheduled that may result in your neglecting higher priority tasks involving job search activities.
Learn to delegate and to ask for help. My experience is that many individuals are willing and able to help you. I suggest that you ask for assistance in finding a job and focus on networking.
As I continue to post suggestions in this blog, I find that there are certainly recurring themes. I am convinced that focused, high energy attention to a job search will yield positive results – potential job opportunities.
Please share with readers of this blog your strategies that you find helping in becoming employed.
Thanks!
