Beating job search burnout (9988 hits)


Build a strategy and be patient.

Looking for a job is hard work. And like any work you do, it can burn you out if you go about it the wrong way. One of the best ways to avoid job-search burnout is to have a strategy — don’t just send out reams of résumés in the hopes of getting a call back from somebody. That will just make you feel desperate.

Steve Langerud is a workplace culture consultant who has worked with a client on a job search that started to drag on. “The longer it went, the more desperate he became to just have work,” Langerud says. “When we touched base again, it was clear he had moved far from his original purpose and was now entertaining every option with equal energy.”

Langerud says the two refocused the client’s efforts. After a month, he was offered the short-term position of his dreams, and after two months in this position, he landed a lucrative consulting position. “Currently, he is negotiating between two full-time opportunities that are both consistent with his defined purpose and provide him with the lifestyle he wishes,” Langerud says.
