Defense in Job Search

Defense in Job Search Perhaps you watched some football yesterday?!   I couldnt help but laugh at the D Fence sign when it was held up in the crowd, it is so simple. But, job seekers, shouldnt you be of the offense?   Or OFF THE FENCE? How many of you are sitting on a fence?   Waiting for a response from someone?   Waiting for the phone to ring? Waitingtick tock? I find that waiting causes me to feel stress, anxiety, hopelessness, helplessness.   How about you?   You can change this.   Take action.   Tackle your next opportunity! How? Dont chase after job postings, create an opportunity by attacking potential target companies. Dont just email your resume and wait, pick up the phone after youve submitted your resume and ask what their time-frame is for reviewing resumes and ask when you can follow up! Dont expect a friend to provide you with a connection, ask to contact them yourself. If you want to win at this game, we need to see a lot of effort.   You need to give 110%.   Isnt that what coaches ask for?   So, have a plan and work it hard!   No dogging it! Football is like life it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. Vince Lombardi
