Today’s Tip: Leave Your Comfort Zone

I  have noticed that typical job seekers spend way too much time doing the tasks that they are "comfortable" doing and not the tasks that are necessary to win in their job search.

The "I'll get to them later" tasks include:

• cold calling - picking up that 400 lb. phone is about the hardest task for the typical job seeker to look forward to and to make it a natural part of their daily routine.


• emailing people they don't know


• asking for effective help/advice from experts


• requesting people in their target companies for informational meetings


• following up more than once when they have a hot lead; you must keep that flame burning!

There are more, but you get the idea.

So get in the game… the right game.
