Looking for employment is a full time job. You organize your day for contacts to make, networking events to attend, and researching companies and potential connections. It can strap you to your chair, thoughts and attitude.
It can be difficult taking a break. Moving to a different task. Allowing you to function outside of your job search.
A perfect break is to get out and involved with community action. You can LEAVE your home or temporary workspace and engage with new people, learn something new and, yes, meet potential employment. Don't worry that you don't know anything about the non-profit world or community action group. Learn, watch and listen. You just might open a door to a new opportunity.
And, as someone more wise and knowing said to me, if you think about somebody or something other than yourself or situation, you will move to a place of action, more perceived control and self worth.
Join something today. The organization probably needs someone just like you.
