Job Searching in the Sun!

With summer in full swing, it can be extremely difficult to stay motivated through your job search; there are so many other things you could be doing!  Some tips to stay on track and how to make the gorgeous weather work in your favor:

Network!  Summertime is the perfect opportunity to get out and do some networking.  It can be as simple as hitting your local beach or park and chatting with people.  Summer holds a lot of events such as fairs, barbeques, night markets, festivals and various community events.  Take the time to get out to some free events,  have some fun and expand your network while doing so! 

Secure Seasonal Employment!  Looking for the perfect job but having trouble finding the right opportunity?  Why not accept a seasonal summer position in the meantime to make sure that you are keeping your skills fresh – industries such as tourism, hospitality and retail often have seasonal employment this time of year.

Schedule your Activities!  Make sure that you schedule your daily job search activities to include fun things that you do in the summer weather, such as a walk, going to the beach, or attending a community event.  Do your online job search in the morning and schedule some time for networking in the afternoon; in between get out and do something fun!  If you create your daily schedule ahead of time, it will be less likely that you will get side-tracked.

It’s the perfect season to be Positive!  Vitamin D and the Sun make most of us fairly happy; when we are happy then it’s easy to remain positive.  You will most likely be in a better mood during the summer months (provided your live somewhere that you see the sun!).  Use this to your advantage and really concentrate on finding the perfect job!
