Panic and your job search

Has it been awhile since you lost your job and started to look for a new one? You are not alone according to the Department of labor 41 % of the unemployed have been without work for over 27 weeks. That is 6.2 million out of about 14 million unemployed and that doesn’t even count the number of folks that have just stopped looking. If you had a positive attitude when you started your job search I am sure that feeling has been tested quite a few times. In fact you might be in panic mode right now, wondering when and if this economy is going to get better and companies will start to hire again. No one can really blame you for how you feel but you have to keep trying.

 

Things to remember…

 

• Stay the course on your job hunt no matter how difficult it gets you have to keep plugging away 
• Believe in yourself because if you don’t no one else will. 
• Control your stress, once again easier said than done but stress will slow you down or even stop you in your tracks. 
• Stay active while you are unemployed; take time away from job hunting to live your life. 
• Live a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise
