You want to avoid repeating in 2001 the mistakes you made in 2000 and build on your successes. Evaluate every aspect of your job-hunting campaign. Get opinions on your resume and the clothes you wear to interviews. Determine if your job-hunting methods and career direction are correct. Analyze the total package, involve the expertise of others, make changes where required.
People prospecting the job market get cold feet in winter.
They dislike having to venture from their comfort zone and will create excuses why they should cool their job-hunting heels and wait until spring to hit the streets. It's either too cold, too icy, too windy or too sloppy. Certainly gray, overcast days do little to fire ambition and spirits. When career wannabes shut it down, that's less competition for you. Let others chill out while you heat up.
