TIP OF THE DAY
Consider renaming job seeking and call it job hunting, and be aware that in order to find a job you must have a kind of life similar to that of employed people.You don't need to be an early bird, but staying in bed too long in the morning certainly doesn't help to find a job.So do not sit idly, waiting for things to fall into your lap. If you want to become a good job-hunter, you must be a doer. Be active and build yourself an appropriate strategy .
