Tip 2, Day 2: Find someone to be accountable to.
If you can find and afford a professional coach, good for you. You are lucky. Use them. Don’t tell them what to do, just fit into their system, and DO what they say to do.
If you can’t afford one, then find someone who you will be accountable to every single week. Don’t skip reporting any week. This person needs to be strong enough to “hold your feet to the fire,” which means they will ask you “did you do that thing you said you were going to do? Why not? Okay, well what are you going to do this week? If you don’t do that, then ________.”
Accountability is such a critical component of your job search. I know it’s embarrassing to invite someone into this part of your life… a part that feels like a failure. BUT, bring them in, and let them help you.
You don’t have to do this alone. Having someone who you’ll be accountable to can be a huge, huge part of your success. Respect them, respect their time, and be completely honest with them.
