Erin:

Great advice for any jobseeker.! It IS a full time job and regardless of how beaten down you are – you must keep your attitude in check. Your energy level and up-beat attitude will be noticeable at your next interview – and if you display negative energy – that will stand out like a sore thumb. Keep pushing – and never give up. Never!

Here in San Diego we are lucky to have the Padres. Even if you can’t afford a premium seat there are ways to seek cheaper tickets to Petco Park, and nothing beats a Sunday afternoon with a light early supper or barbecue and the sound of Jerry Coleman in the backround. Or combine this with a trip to the beach and a portable radio and you’ve got an inexpensive one day summer vacation. I don’t know as much about sports as my son or his dad, but just the sound of the announcer brings back the simpler days of my childhood in Southern California and fills me with a sense of peace that refreshes me for Monday morning when the job hunt begins again!

As we have been seeing job seekers looking for work for more than 12 months at times, it really is a good idea to stay busy, to keep skills up to par and to network heavily while waiting for that new opportunity to come around. While it is hard not to entertain negative thoughts during the search, sometimes there is comfort knowing you are doing all you can instead of doing nothing. So job seekers and graduates: just keep at it and don’t let your confidence slide for one moment…you are not alone.
