Networking you should also realize that even in a shutdown networking can and will switch to online. Make sure your online presence is clear, concise and makes you look good. Reach out to your network, especially close friends and former associates, update them on your career status and enlist their help. Schedule a brief 10-15 minute Zoom meetings or call and give them clarity on what you are looking for in a position. You can further develop your online presence by a vlog, blog, or article sharing. Update your LinkedIn and other social network presence. Develop a job search routine, keep on your routine but remember to give yourself regularly schedules breaks as well. You’ve got a new year, use it to your best advantage.

Not so fun fact – According the WSJ the average worker has only about 2 hours and 48 minutes of productive time a day. They suggest to make the most of your time by spending 10-15 minutes planning what you want to get done for the week. Then schedule your day according to when you work best for those most important tasks. Makes you wonder what we’re doing with our time, doesn’t it?
