Summary

Job hunting can be challenging even during the best of times.

With the national unemployment rate in the double digits, finding a job right likely feels overwhelming.

Draw up a job search plan with measurable goals, benchmarks, and timelines.

By approaching your job search with the same focus and professionalism as an actual job, you'll apply more effectively to targeted openings, manage your anxiety better, and keep your soft skills sharp for when you do land that next job.

Here are a few tips to help you professionalize your job search.

It does mean that you should maintain a professional mentality both to be able to approach your job search effectively and to project professionalism when you do land an interview.

Just because you can job hunt in bed doesn't mean you should.

Whether you're working at a job or on a job search, trying to tackle every task is a recipe for failure.

In addition to job searching, devote some time each day networking online and reading trade publications covering your target industries.

You'll return to your workspace refreshed and ready again to find your next job.
