January 4, 2005 (Press Release) --
What do the most unsuccessful job candidates know about remaining unemployed that you do not? After months of observing the chronically unemployed, advice is offered on how to get the least from your job search efforts. At last, overeducated underachievers reveal their five closely guarded tips for sabotaging your new year’s job search. Study this list repeatedly. Focus on items that describe you and immediately go to work to implement them and you will be a guaranteed failure.
Secret Tip 1 Use Your Time Foolishly. Do not make the most of every day by setting time limits on every activity not related to your job search. Accept an unlimited number of irrelevant telephone calls, watch tons of television and spend hours surfing the internet.
Secret Tip 2 Procrastinate. First, ask yourself, “What is one thing that I don’t want to do but if I did it, it would move my job search efforts forward.” Next, ask, “How hard will doing it be?” Finally, put it off until later! If you focus on how hard and painful the effort is, you will never put an end to procrastination.
Secret Tip 3 Work Alone. Forget what the “gurus” tell you. Never join forces with 1 to 2 other job seekers and help each other with your cover letters, resumes, and interview skills. Why, because teams provide support, accountability and make attending job fairs and networking events fun.
Secret Tip 4 Create A To Do List. Increase your productivity and become more effective by listing the six most important television talk shows you need to watch each day. Next go through and prioritize the shows on your list so you get to watch the most exciting shows first.
Secret Tip 5 Take Inconsistent Unfocused Action! Understand that even baby steps can create momentum. No action is better than any action. A small pebble dropped into a pond creates a ripple effect but also sinks to the bottom. Stay in your comfort zone today and avoid taking immediate focused action.
