Temptations are all around-warm, sunny days that demand flip flops and long afternoons at the beach. It would be so easy to just take the summer off and get back into the groove of things when the "kids go back to school."
Stop! This is not the time to give up on your job search, at least not all the way.
Here are five guilt free ways to stay on task with your job search this summer and still enjoy some sun and fun.
1. Get up earlier. The sun is up earlier and the early morning hours are much cooler than at high noon. Try leaving your blinds open or shades up and rise when the sun begins to stream through the window.
2. Set a schedule for yourself. Plan to work at your job search for a certain number of hours each day. Stick to the schedule that you set for yourself.
3. Take advantage of networking opportunities. The summer means more time outdoors and going to new places. Be sure and make contacts whenever and wherever possible. The best networking is often done in the least expected places.
4. Work in the cool of the evening. Some people work best in the evening. If you're one of these people it is best for you to work when you are your most creative. Play during the day and set work time for evening.
5. Forget your search and enjoy. When you decide to enjoy a summer picnic or an all-day outing, let go of your job search and enjoy the day. Permit yourself a vacation day from your "job" of job search.
Job hunting is key for anyone who has been out of work, but it is also a good idea to take time "to smell the ocean." If you do, you'll find yourself refreshed and more energized. As the slogan goes, "You deserve a break today!
