Career Corner Avoiding the Unemployment Sorrow Fest  What do you do if you are unemployed in a tough economy? First of all don’t panic! There are jobs out there, but decisions made out of fear never have good results.
Don't watch the news and think "oh man I'm never going to find a job" and go into a deep depression. This trap must be avoided! Here's how! Although you may have to work a little harder to find a job during a recession, here are some tips to help you get started: 1. Make sure your resume is up to date. Take some time reviewing your resume. How do you stand out? Does your resume highlight your skills and professionalism? Do you have a cover letter that works? Think about hiring a professional to help you revise your resume and cover letter. 2. Network. Networking is still the best way to get a job. Tell family, friends, former co-workers, etc. that you are looking for a job and give them specifics. They can’t help you unless they know you are looking. 3. Use blogs and social networking sites. Join online networking groups, especially if there are networking groups specific to your industry. Online networking tools are very important. Social networking sites like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook are great places to network online. 4. Create a schedule. This is an extremely important step because it will keep your mind focused so you don't get depressed. Make a list of what you want to accomplish daily/weekly. Set realistic goals for yourself each day and stick to them! 5. Consider a temporary lower paying job. This may be a hard step for you to take, but it will give you the opportunity to get more work experience, will get you out of the house, boost your morale, and most importantly in a tough economy, it will offer some temporary financial assistance. Temp agencies are a great place to start. 6. Get support. Are you unsure of your ideal career path? Do you need help identifying values and goals? A career coach can help you find your ideal career path. *Need help with your career transition? Contact us for a complimentary consultation.* We are filling spots for our most popular coaching service: Our next Ideal Career Coaching Group, including unlimited individual coaching.
