5 Ways to End Job Search Burn Out

That’s it you’ve had it!!  You have been unemployed way too long, and your job search isn’t going anywhere.  You spend hours in front of the computer, sent out more resumes than you can count and have gotten only a few interviews and no job offers.  You’re doing everything you should be doing but without success.  You’re burnt out.

OK you’re burnt out.  What do you do now?  Nothing.  Take a week off from your job search.  Yes, take one week off.  Forget about your job search. 

Tackle an ambitious project.  Do something that will show results when you’re finished.  Paint a room. Clean out closets.  Get rid of things you don’t want any more by having a yard sale, donate them to a charitable organization, or throw stuff away.  Start a 1,000 or more piece puzzle.  Sew knit or do wood work.  Repair the things that have waited to be fixed.

Get in shape.  Learn how to eat healthy and start an exercise routine (get your doctor’s OK first).  You will feel better with exercise after only a few days. And when the weight starts falling off, you will appreciate your efforts.

Take a mini vacation.  Visit a friend or relative.  Take a few days to plan the trip.  Decide where you want to go and what you want to do when you get there.  Map out your route and what to see along the way.  It doesn’t have to be a long, far trip.  Just as long as you take time away from your home and the same 4 walls.
