How to Create a Sustainable Job Search Schedule When You’re Unemployed


Listen Later

How do you avoid making the job search your entire life when seeking employment is your full-time pursuit? Searching for a new job is stressful and time-consuming. If you’re doing the full-time job search hustle, factors like financial stress and endless immersion in the hunt can quickly become overwhelming. Add to that, it’s taking many months or even a full year these days to land a job. All this highlights the need to build sustainability into your search.

Two weeks back, I covered how to create a sustainable job search plan when you’re also working full-time. Today, I’m sharing some strategies on how to do the same when you’re unemployed and searching for the perfect career opportunity. I hope that by tailoring these strategies to your own biorhythms and strengths, you’ll be equipped to approach this trying and tiring time with a bit more ease.

Crack the secret of sustainable full-time job searching :

  • Why you should batch your tasks and kick multitasking to the curb;
  • How creating your own deadlines will help keep you accountable;
  • The trick to reawakening your flagging energy and fending off isolation;
  • The need for boundaries and restraint even as you push to the finish line.
