This is the week where the "rubber meets the road." For some of us, this week signifies that everything you're done before has to be laid aside and a new "slate" must be taken up. For others, this week will signify that you reached the end of your rope as far as searching for employment. Still others this week signifies that it's time for desperate measures...ie: taking any job available as long as it pays money and you can keep a roof over your head. I have to admit that the last two times I've been unemployed I have taken jobs that were available out of desperation. There are probably many that can admit to this as well.
This is the time to execute your plan. What plan will you execute? First, list all the businesses in your area. Plan on cold calling at least one business each week. In the meantime, you need to scour the employment websites and commit yourself to applying for at least two positions. (Yes, I know that it's like throwing a dart in a very large well.) Second, talk to a friend and/or one of your references. You should have at least three. Make a point of keeping them posted either via e-mail(most prefer this) or by calling them.
