Take the Dread out of Finding a Job
Over at Careerealism, Ilona Vanderwoude has advice for those of you who hate job searching so much you wind up self-sabotaging with procrastination or moping from one networking activity to the next. She compares her job search with exercising--it's a productive pastime, it's essential to her well being, but when she forces herself to work out by going to the gym, she hates it! Very relatable--particularly for those of us who hate making cold calls, talking to strangers, talking about ourselves, or undertaking any of the thousand and one small and large tasks that make up a modern job seeker's day.
Vanderwoude's solution to her workout problem was taking Zumba classes--something she likes, dancing, mixed with something she wants, a boost of cardio! She has some suggestions to help you convert what drags you down into what builds you up, and hopes it helps you find your dream job along the way.
