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
