Procrastinate: to be slow or late about doing something that should be done : to delay doing something until a later time because you do not want to do it, because you are lazy, etc.
It seems that I have been procrastinating about keeping up my blogs. Instead of getting up and enjoying the day and getting started on all my tasks, I have been lying in bed, falling back to sleep and then getting up and rushing around and not accomplishing half of what I planned.
Has this ever happened to you? Do you find yourself putting off things you should be doing in your job search? Getting that resume updated? Spending time searching the job sites (www.indeed.com, www.monster.ca, www.charityvillage.com )? Sending out your resumes? Looking for the "hidden" jobs in your area?
Do you think that coffee with friends or cleaning your house is a better use of your time? Think again. If you are job searching, you should be spending the same amount of time searching as you want to be working. If you want a full-time job, then you should be spending a full day on your job search activities - checking the local paper (or online version), checking the job search sites, looking up information on companies you might like to work for, crafting a resume tailored to the specific job (no, there is no "one size fits all" resume), and practicing your interview skills.
