Accomplish your goals

When searching for a job, there is no excuse for added stress due to clutter and disorganization, get yourself organized. Have 2-3 versions of your resume written, your 3 minute story, cover letters, thank you templates and your answers to the top 10 interview questions, etc. If you are the type of person that delays doing these things you know need to be done, it will cause unnecessary stress throughout your job search. As soon as you find a job that interests you, immediately take the next step and apply for the position. Than set aside time to find someone to speak within the company about the role.
It is easy to become overwhelmed with the amount of work that needs to get done to land your next career. First you need to set goals than maintain a set schedule to ensure you are using your time wisely so you can accomplish your goals in a timely manner. IE apply to 3 positions in my key industry and contact 5 new people to add to my network.
By understanding where you are in your job search and taking pride in your accomplishments, it not only reduces stress, it helps motivate you to keep going and will help you land that next dream career!
Good Luck!
