The more you can save, the better.
It’s also important to prepare yourself mentally for the possible strain of
searching for a job. Research your industry’s hiring trends and the most
current supply and demand for the type of role you are looking for.
Doing this type of preparation will help you feel more equipped to deal with
what may or may not come your way. Either way, you’re covered.

TIP #1 PREPARE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

5. TIP #2 TAKE TIME TO PONDER & REFLECT
What have you learned about your past experiences searching for a job
What have you learned about your past experiences in the workplace, your preferred
management style (managing or being managed), your preferences on company
culture, autonomy in your role or team dynamics?
Taking time to think about these things will help you get really clear on the things
you do and don’t want for your next role and therefore, help you in your job
search.
If you’re still working or not, its important to take some time to really think about the
future and do some self-reflection about the past.

6. TIP #3 SURROUND YOURSELF WITH SUPPORT
Take this time to spend quality time with those who support you. Their
encouragement will keep your spirits lifted and hopes up.
Another great idea is to use this time to your advantage by working on expanding
your network. Through your research, you have probably come across companies
you would like to work for or professionals you would like to emulate.
Use this time to connect with them on LinkedIn and begin building a relationship
or study what it is they do that makes them successful in their endeavors. For
example, if you notice a particular professional writes blogs about industry topics
once a week, think about doing the same.
Isolating yourself from your circle of support is counterproductive to your goal.
