Job Seeker Resources: Habits and Tactics

In my work, I have found that clients often ask very similar questions about how to approach certain parts of their job search.

Sometimes, I write long email replies that I should turn into posts here or on my website. And then I customize an answer to the same question later. It takes a lot of time and isn’t very efficient.

I also find myself too bogged down to blog anymore. So I have taken some time to accept that I need not reinvent the wheel every time I’m asked a question. Also, there are so many good articles on the web that answer the questions effectively.

My new strategy is simple. I started making resource handouts with URLs for articles that answer common questions.

Sometimes people have a hard time keeping their job searches moving. Here is a new resource I made with articles about maintaining progress, dealing with emotions during a job search, and different approaches a jobseeker can take when searching.
