Did You Make Your 24 Calls Today?

If you are looking for a job and you didn’t make at least 24 calls today, then you did yourself a disservice. A while back I wrote a blog post titled Finding a Job is a Full Time Job but the one thing I left out was the discussion of setting goals for your day when you are looking.

Generally speaking, you could call about 8 companies per hours, given that most will either say they don’t have an opening, refer you to a website, or ask you to come in and fill out an application. That said, you should be able to contact at least 24 companies a day until you find a job. Granted, it may not be the dream job, but it will put food on the table and put you in a position to get ready for the ideal job (because often those companies hire people who are already emlployed).

I hope that helps. If you have trouble making those calls, it’s understandable. Just write yourself a big fat paycheck and know that you can cash it once you find someone willing to fund it.
