The P Plan for a Job Search

An article in The Dallas Morning News, December 16, 2012, edition on Page 1J, “Biggest Blunders of Home-Base Job Seekers, by Christine Durst and Michael Haaren of Creators Syndicate discusses what job searchers should not do when applying for home-based jobs.  The writers suggest that a job seeker should not:

Call the employer about an advertised job

Complain online about a company’s hiring practices

Get discouraged or offended when employers don’t respond

However, the article does not provide advice as to what job seekers should do!  My minster in his sermon today provided advice to all, and I am thinking that the advice is appropriate for job seekers.  Here is his P Plan:

Plan Perfectly – Develop a plan to find a job

Proceed Positively – Avoid being discouraged when you are ignored by a potential employer

Persevere Persistently – Keep on keeping on and work your plan

These P’s seem rather simple, but as golfers often say “half the game is mental.”
