How to stay motivated while looking for a job?

Changing the workplace is always stressful, even if you move to another company on favorable terms. And an unexpected job loss or exit from a project becomes a serious challenge for anyone.

We have collected 5 tips that will help you stay motivated and get out of the "unemployed" status faster.

• • keep a schedule, because looking for a job is also work. Maintain a routine so that lack of discipline does not lead to procrastination;
    
    
• • act according to the plan, and remember what you always wanted to do. Maybe it's time to change activities or start your own business.
    
    
• • conduct a professional "inventory". Combine "I want" with "I can" by creating a detailed resume. Consider a quick way to make extra money, for example, consulting or involvement in short-term projects;
    
    
• • check your LinkedIn profile and update outdated information. Create profiles on specialized job search platforms and browse the sites and social networks of the companies you are interested in - your new offer may be waiting for you in the vacancies section;
    
    
• • increase networking by attending professional events and communicating with your acquaintances. Always keep your resume ready to send, because, in a short conversation with a neighbor in the elevator, you can also have time to present yourself as a new employee.
    
    

Although many unknown factors exist, a new job can be a stepping stone to a more successful career. Be persistent and never doubt yourself!
