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!
  • Want to brush up on your computer skills? Take a free class at the library! 
  • Use social networking Web sites such as FacebookLinkedIn, 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!
