So start your day with a few positive statements about your career, don't engage with 'gloomy talks' but positive network with others to search and develop new opportunities.
5.) Make yourself visible. We live in a global community, which means most of the what you are looking could be a few clicks' away. So take advantage of it all. Signup for career websites and job hunting sites. Build a professional profile online and market yourself using networking sites like LinkedIn, e.t.c. Always keep an attractive profile outlook on the internet and make yourself 'searchable'. You never know who might what possibilities exist.Check. www.jobberman.com www.linkedin.com/company/
