Are you having a hard time focusing on your job search and getting frustrated. The job search process has a lot of uncertainty but try your best to maintain an optimistic attitude. Connecting with others who are job searching can be a great way to keep that positive outlook. You'll increase your support network & hopefully learn some new tips along the way.
Here's some other tips to keep you going during your search.
- Utilize the resources available at Pratt's Central Library. Sign up for a resume review or reserve a computer. Just call 410-396-5317.
- Set goals and make sure you block out enough time to actually accomplish those goals. Remember, that job searching is just like a job!
- Use social networking Web sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter to keep friends and family up-to-date on how your job search is going. You can also virtually meet people who might be helpful for finding job openings!
- Don't rely just on the Internet to find job leads, get out there & network! Many jobs are never posted online & are filled through networking.
- Practice answering interview questions with a friend or family member. Being able to speak about yourself clearly and concisely is very important -- for an interview and networking.
I hope these tips will keep your job search on track!
