Self-Sabotage & the Job Search

Job-seekers can unknowingly sabotage their job search. How does self-sabotage show up? 
  • Not having a job target.
  • Feeling desperate and going after every job that remotely matches your skills/experience.
  • Spending the majority of your time going after advertised jobs.
  • Isolating. Not getting out networking with others.
  • Not getting up-to-date with current job search trends.
  • Not customizing your resume and cover letter for each job target.
  • Not keeping your network apprised of your job search.
  • Not asking for introductions to contacts within your target companies.

Do you want to see more momentum in your job search? What negative behaviors do you need to shed?
