“When you look to a date in the future, remember: if you had started today, you would already have achieved success”   Denise Taylor 

Many experts will tell you that looking for a job is a full time job.  Indeed, if you are not in work at the moment you can devote many hours to this process.  If you are in a full time job at the moment you are going to want to plan your time carefully so you have the time and energy to devote to this task.

Can you give up any activity such as watching as much TV?  How can you find say 2 hours a day to spend on the job search process?  The job search needs to be a high priority, and having a routine can help with this.

If you begin any task in a half-hearted way, you are unlikely to succeed.  What will happen is that you will stumble at the first sign of difficulty and the decision to get the job of your dreams will just fade away.

Think about your level of commitment. Make a note of how committed you are to this job search:

1        2        3        4        5        6        7        8        9        10 _______________________________________________________

If something else is going to take priority. How will you achieve your job search goals? Think about your level of commitment. If it is below 7, you are just playing with this.  Sorry to be blunt, but if your commitment isn’t high, there will always be excuses and reasons why you don’t get started.

If you have too many other commitments, what can you give up to allow you time for job search?
