Maybe

Maybe     

Another week.

If you’re on the job hunt you know firsthand how the road can be long and frustrating. Maybe you’ve been applying for weeks or even months without hearing back from any employers. It’s easy to feel discouraged and hopeless.

You wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and with. And nothing.

I understand. It can really really suck.

What if this week you did the complete opposite of what you’ve been doing?

Instead of always trying to get a “yes,” maybe just for this week, see how many “no’s” you can get.

Instead of applying to jobs in your field, maybe just for this week, apply to jobs that are not related to yours.

Instead of applying to jobs you think you qualify for, maybe just for this week, apply to jobs you are definitely underqualified for.

Instead of just sending your resume to employers, maybe just for this week, send a valuable idea or resource to every single person or organization that has ghosted you.

Instead of just reaching out to recruiters, maybe just for this week, send a message to your network and ask how they’re doing.

Instead of doing it all on your own what if you asked for help? 

Will it work? I don’t know.

Maybe.

Whatever the case, it's something different and you won’t be waiting.

I am so rooting for you; you can do this.
