10 Good Things To Do While Between Jobs
Remember that the situation you are now in is not permanent.
You will not remain in the unemployment phase indefinitely.
You are simply between jobs and while hunting, here are 10 things you can do to stay positive and proactive while waiting to get your job offer.
1. Join a Job Search Group
The job search can be overwhelming. There are others out there feeling the same things you are. Meeting once a week can keep you from getting depressed, help you set goals, and can be a great way to learn new job search strategies. You can also get personal feedback from the facilitator on your resume/cover letter, and where to take your job search.
2. Volunteer
You would be surprised at how many volunteer positions lead to a job.
And even if they don't, they lead to contacts that might be able to refer you to someone with an opportunity. Why not get out of the house at least 2x a week and offer your services in a hospital, school, or library? You can even volunteer at campaign headquarters for the political candidate of your choice or for your favorite non-profit agency.
3. Watch someone in your ideal job
I am not saying stalk anyone, but it makes sense to 'watch'. If you want to be legal council for a corporation, go to a few public trials. If you want to be a writer, attend book signings at the local bookstore.
