An interesting angle on burnout

Last week I had the pleasure of talking about Stopping Burnout and Re-Energizing Your Job Search to Land a Great Job at the Schmoozer’s Networking Group in West Hartford. Someone in the audience brought up the fact that poor strategy when looking for work contributes to burnout. And I agree. What happens when you don’t have a plan or when your plan doesn’t reflect smart ways to look for work? You get discouraged, and over time, this can lead to burnout as you’re using up energy faster than it’s restored.

This is one reason why Job Search Work Teams are so effective as they help job seekers run a diverse and effective search campaign. My latest course, “Turn Off Your Computer and Get a Job!” is another way to ensure you’re searching smart. Take a look at the first three lessons on the online component of my class:  https://www.avanoo.com/first3/527. What else can you do? Get a search buddy, add one fun thing to every day (I showed off the baby mittens I made myself and gave them away), help your friends, read a good book, join LinkedIn groups, exercise, and systematically go after the jobs you really want.
