Sometimes nature takes control of our destiny. If you live on the east coast, say anywhere from Raleigh to New York, then you know how this winter’s cold, snowy onslaught has affected businesses and the government. The federal government in Washington, DC shut down for nearly a week because of two storms that dropped 3 feet of snow. Networking events were canceled. No one could get anywhere because of ice-bound, clogged streets and a public transit system that couldn’t operate for days. Just about everything got put on hold. Most other parts of the country have been hit by winter’s wrath too. Hey, that’s life…and it doesn’t last forever.
Take heart. Soon winter will stop its assault on your job search progress. Employers and recruiters will be back in full action, posting jobs, interviewing, networking and hiring.

I agree. The job search progresses in stages. The way to survive this bleek "black hole" is to understand that this stage will pass and ENJOY the ride. Be productive while you search. Learn. Read. Network. Volunteer. And know that something good IS going to happen.

During this down time I kicked off a little web page with my qualifications and marketed that along with my search and then for fun I started a french food, Parisian musings blog to work on my creative writing skills. Something has to give...
