How To Find The Time To Job Search

Marty Nemko, Ph.D. (Contributing Editor, Careers, U.S. News & World Report) gives expert video advice on: How do I find the time to job search?

Thanks to the internet, you can do it in the interstices of your life. In the nights and the weekends and the early mornings. So much of what you need to do in a job search doesn't require you to be interviewing. Most of it is research on the company, finding the right company, finding the right job, working on your resume, working on your cover letter. So, it just means that you're not going to be watching sitcoms for a while! You're not going to be playing golf for a while! You're not going to your cousin's wedding in Topeka! You know, it really has to be a priority. But, if you focus on that, even if you're working full-time, there are 168 hours in a week. You sleep for maybe 50 of them and you work for 40. That's 90. That leaves still about 80 hours in the week. That's plenty of time to job search.
