The number one resource for job seekers is:
- your resume?
- your favorite job board?
- recruiters / headhunters?
- your personal network?
- your professional network?
They are important, but there’s one that is most important….it is….
[Drum roll....]
Your time.
Time is the single most important resource purely because:
1) once spent, you cannot get it back
2) it is very easy to spend, you literally have to do nothing to spend it (pun intended)
3) as part of your job search, you get to choose how you spend your time – forwarding resumes to people, browsing job websites, researching employers, talking to recruiters, etc.
If you were employed today, you would be having:
- a positive cashflow in terms of your income – regardless of contract or full time work you are getting paid which in essence means increase in your cashflow
- building your career by learning new things, meeting new people and accomplishing things.
In other words, the faster you can get your next job, the better your financial and career situation will be.
Where would you like to invest your time in order to get to your next job faster?
