4 Motivators to Jumpstart Your Job Search in 2024

1. Optimize Your Best Hours with Time Blocking

Have you heard or used the phrase, “Looking for a job is a full-time job?” The reality is that we are too busy with responsibilities to devote an entire day to job hunting. Finding the time to search for jobs can be even more difficult if you are employed. Create a strategy to maximize your peak hours by blocking off time to look for roles that interest you. LinkedIn says implementing time blocking in your job search routine can help prioritize your most important tasks, avoid distractions and multitasking, and measure your progress and results. Be sure to also use downtime (during the evenings or weekends) to your advantage. Keep in mind that everyone's "best hours" will vary based on where they are in their career.

2. Rally Up Your Support Team

Do you have a group of people you can rely on for motivation and guidance to maximize your career? Reaching out to your network for advice could give you a needed push to put your best foot forward as a job seeker. Read the Express Blog article, “Leverage Your LinkedIn Connections” to accelerate your job hunt, widen your professional network, and find your next opportunity.

3. Motivate Yourself

While encouragement from others might give you the boost you need in your career, you can also obtain it by looking at yourself. Recognize and persevere through the challenging times of your job search and celebrate the victories. Be your own cheerleader in your career; after all, it's your individual journey, and you can do everything you set your mind to with effort and dedication. Good luck with your job search!
