Unemployed? Congratulations! “You’re Hired!”

by Darlene McDaniel on December 26th, 2006

If you are unemployed, your new job is to find a job.Your job, should you choose to accept it is to find a job. Most people work an 8 hour day. How much time you spend working your new job is completely up to you. But I am convinced that whatever time you invest in your job search will be a direct correlation of how quickly you get fired from this job and hired by a company who will pay you for your work.

My recommendation is that you spend a minimum of 20 hours per week working on your job search. If you want results, than work more. Make sure you are organized in your approach. Get out of bed EVERY day and get a shower and get dressed for work. Dedicate a place to work. You need a computer. If you don’t have one available at home, go to the local library. A career coach and a support group would be great as well. Put people around you who will encourage you in your search. Laziness is not an option if you really want to work.

Lastly, give yourself permission to have fun! Schedule your fun. Make it a reward for accomplishing specific goals throughout the week.
