Blame Others 

Blaming others and passing on the responsibility may make you feel better, but it won’t help. It’s your responsibility to find yourself a new job, regardless of the reasons you are in the situation you are in. 

Be Negative

In order to find, and get, a job you need to be positive. Quit focusing on the interviews and jobs that you missed out – focus on what you can do today. And what you are doing tomorrow. 

See Rejection as Personal 

You will experience rejection when finding a new job. Get over it – ask for feedback, learn, change, and move on. If you don’t get (meaningful) feedback review your own performance. 

Search in only One Place

Scrolling through the same jobs website every day can become monotonous. By broadening your search you have a better chance of finding the right job. 

Apply for Every Job You Find

By going for every job in your area you may lose focus. It is important to remember what sort of job you want and why you want it. 

Misuse Social Media 

Social media can be a great thing when job hunting – when used correctly. Start your job search by updating your social media profiles. Do not use it to rant about your previous employer.
