Handle Your Job Search Like a Job

The Dallas Morning News in an article on page 1J in its January 3, 2010, issue by ARAcontent quotes Anthony Davis, a career services professional “If you expect to work 40 hours a week, then you must be prepared to put in many hours in your job search.”


I not so sure that spending 40 concentrated hours each week will result in getting a job. A friend of mine who had been unemployed for several months told me that he had spent full time looking for a job with no luck. However, out of the blue a friend referred him to someone and the result was a job within days.


I am reminded on the old adage “preparation meets opportunity.” Job seekers should keep their resumes current and relevant, maintain their list of references, and always displace a positive attitude.


Please share with job search ideas for 2010 in this blog with others.


Thanks! Glyn
