When I was self-employed, I worked about 16 hours a day. Now as a paid worker of two jobs, I find myself at it only about 10 hours every day (although for one job I’m on call 24-7). Working for yourself means you have to HUSTLE to find that next dollar, as Sarah Leaps vouches,
In the morning, brew up a pot (whatever that means to you), spend hours on craigslist, flexjobs, morning coffee, HARO, facebook (strictly business), crowdspring and whatever other rabbit hole you can find to explore for leads. Pour your heart and soul into crafting customized cover letters and resumes that reduce grown men to tears and make grownups out of babies. I know you want to, but do NOT skip this part. Always customize–unless, of course, you don’t really care whether you get the job. In that case, just use your boilerplate for everything.
Ha. Her entire post is entertaining, if not uncomfortably true!
Enjoyed this post.
Thanks for the pingback! 🙂
