CQ#21: How do I survive until I find another job?

Quick Answer:

Thousands of people are suffering from unemployment right now, which means competition for available jobs is going up. But don't get discouraged, you still have a full-time job: finding a job. Change your mindset and approach it like any other work. Get up at the same time every morning as you did when you were working. Establish a daily “to do” list: block off time for research, networking and revising your resume. And along with that business frame of mind goes business-like dress. While it is tempting to spend the day in your pajamas or ragged sweats, you take your behavioral cues from what you are wearing. You don’t have to put on a three-piece suit or pantyhose, but you should shower, comb your hair and put on something that’s clean and pressed.
