Looking for work can be like a long car trip where you keep asking, “Am I there yet?” And you can’t enjoy the process because you’re fixated on the end results. To get out of this rut, try to do something different. Maybe you visit a friend you’ve lost touch with, or you could volunteer or take a course at a community college. The trick is not to see these things as a waste of time. That detour may be just what you need to refresh your network and find new opportunites. Try it. It can be fun to be led astray!
