Chandler Hill Partners Blog - The #1 enemy of a successful job search

There are many things that can disable your job search. Some are in your control and some are not. The enemy on my mind right now is a sneaky one. It works quietly in the background like a computer virus. Chewing up memory and productivity. It's called Procrastination. Procrastination is damaging the careers, health and savings accounts of millions of Americans. Here are some examples of where and when procrastination can cripple you if you do not act in a job search:

1. Creating a top notch resume and online brand
2. Building a detailed budget for expenses during your transition
3. Drafting and implementing a solid job search strategy
4. Calling and following up with influential networking contacts
5. Getting to important networking events

Now there are many reasons people don't do these things. Sometimes there is a lack of knowledge. Sometimes you forget that this job market is completely different and the old ways of searching don't work. Sometimes you simply put off doing important things. So, how do you battle this beast before it quietly takes your legs out from under you? Take action! Build a specific plan. And surround yourself with people who can help you through the aspects of job searching that you find most daunting.
