Apply for Jobs Until Ink’s Dry on The Contract.
Job searching can be frustrating and demoralizing, but staying patient and persistent is important. Finding the right job takes time, and it’s unlikely that you’ll land your dream job on the first try.
Start by building a list of companies and positions that align with your skills, interests, and values. Design your cover letter and resume for each job. Also, highlight your relevant experience and accomplishments.
When applying for jobs, be ready for rejection. You’ll likely apply for dozens of positions before landing an interview, let alone an offer. Don’t take rejection personally. Use each rejection as a learning opportunity.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Reach out to your network for advice and support. You may want to work with a career coach or recruiter. And with persistence and patience, you’ll find the right job that aligns with your skills, interests, and values.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
