As the New Year approaches…
Something seems to tug at us this time of year, urging us to look at the New Year as a fresh sheet of paper and to decide how we will fill it. For job seekers, it is often a renewed commitment to “try harder” or “increase effort” or “revise a resume” or…. It’s not easy being between jobs and trying to determine what action is most important.
If you are feeling that renewed energy to jumpstart your search, take a moment to create a plan. Use a planning calendar to schedule your days and prepare the list of activities for the week of January 1st now, if you have not already done so. On Friday of that week, have your plan for the next week.
In planning, consider the following questions:
- What activities were left incomplete that need your attention?
- With whom do you need to follow up?
- What one thing will you do in this week that is most likely to get you closer to your objective? It may be something you have been putting off. It may be something that takes you out of your comfort zone. It may be something you would prefer not to do. It usually is! Do that on Tuesday, January 3rd.
