Do something.  That’s right – move it; just do something.  Many job seekers whether employed or unemployed allow themselves to become paralyzed.  If you are looking for work you may be overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the effort required.  Perhaps you are stymied by a lack of response.

Whatever the case, you will not get where you want to be through inaction. You will get where you want to be through action. It is okay to make a mistake, if this is what is holding you back. Likewise it is perfectly acceptable if you make only a small dent in your list of job search tasks.

ACTION WILL BRING YOU REACTION

If you are aching for some response to your job search efforts you must be active in your job search. There is just no way around it. If you have to force yourself, enlist others to prod you, or use an elaborate system of rewards and punishments then so be it. 

Action of some sort is better than none.  If the case is that you are overwhelmed then you will only benefit from whittling away at the mountain of job search tasks at hand.  If you are fearful of sending out an imperfect resume, cover letter, or resume then it is important to understand that if no one sees it in time to be considered then it won’t matter.

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” - George Bernard Shaw

YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL

So how can you do what you need to be successful?
1.      Have one big goal, make it yours, yearn for it.
2.    Make a list of tasks or activities that will move you closer to your goal.
3.    Break your tasks or activities down into daily doses.
4.    Act on these tasks or activities consistently and well.

That’s it…four simple steps.  I know you can do it – Go ahead!

What is holding you back from the action you need to succed?
