Job search shouldn’t be a solo mission. In fact, it will take you longer if you don’t have support.
This week, you’ll find tips and resources that help up your game and job search with the best of them. You’ll find motivational tips, news about LinkedIn company pages and tons of job search folks to follow!
When you work with others or a coach, you can bounce ideas off people, test your ideas and get a fresh perspective. Even reading articles from coaches or experts in your field can inspire and shift your thinking or get you motivated.
You see – job search requires sales skills, knowledge of the marketplace, intellectual curiosity, and a whole lot of motivation to keep you moving forward. That’s a tall order. You may have to invest in developing some new skills in these areas. But when you are pursuing something you genuinely like (love or are passionate about), it makes it so much easier and enjoyable.
Stay positive and believe that your next opportunity is just around the corner. You’ve got this (with a little help from these friends)!
