Stale Air
Have you ever gone into a home or a room where the air has just smelled and felt old? The room was probably locked up tight for a long period of time without any meaningful ventilation. It got stale.
This same result can happen to your job search; it can get stale. It gets stale because you are probably doing the same activities over and over again without letting some fresh "air" come in. There is a need for conducting repetitive activities but if you are going to the same job boards, looking at the same newspapers, reading the same type of articles your search is going to get stale. Every day you are searching for a job, you should try a new approach.
This new approach could be contacting a local church, recruiter or placement office you have never called before. Let them know what you are doing and see if they have any advice. You could call a friend you have been meaning to call and let them know what you are doing and see if they have any suggestions. Any one of these and other activities are good ideas. Do one new one every day and see where it takes you.
The main reason I suggest the new activity is because new activities will bring new life to the mundane activities you are involved with. This "new life" will spawn into other areas. Your brain has a natural tendency to fix problems or create new ideas when you are not consciously thinking on them. That is just the way your brain is wired. If you want to keep your unconscious brain working for you, these type of forced experiences are vital.
Do something new today and your "subby" (subconscious brain) will thank you!
I love my local library. They built a new place for me to work in since my office is gone. I have a special place I go every day that I don't have appointments to research, email, telephone work or whatever the need for the day is. I don't have to spend $2 on my coffee either, I just bring it with me. Check out your local library and see what they can offer you.
