A Deliberate Calm

Personally, I think that's what we all need ... 'a deliberate calm," time to catch our breath, time to read a good book, time to research possible employers.

Summertime isn't the best time to apply for a job ... but it is the best time to PLAN. This is a good time to make a list of possible employers, investigate their company and it's goals. Make two or three different drafts of your resume and compose a matching cover letter for each. Have your spouse or a friend read over your resume(s) and cover letter(s) and see what they think. Does it sound like you? Have you given yourself enough credit?

Search through the 35 entries here in the Write Place's blog for great ideas and encouragement. Get ready.

I'll be back on August 3rd with lots of new ideas and strategies. Enjoy July because in August and especially in September you will want to restart your job search in ernest.

Stay cool!
