What to do while seeking employment?

What to do while seeking employment? This is a question I often get. There are a few ways you can use your time wisely and benefit from it. My answer for this question is:

(1) Seek employment. Certainly!

(2) Volunteer: Volunteering is a great way to keep your skills actively in use and obtain new ones. Don’t know how to get started? Visit www.volunteermatch.org to get started!

(3) Educate yourself: One of the best things to do while seeking employment is to go back to school. Why not work on that bachelors, masters or doctorate degree you have been dreaming about?

(4) Join a professional organization in your field: This is a wonderful way to keep up with changes in your career field while not being in the workforce. Most professional organizations, have local chapters that meet on a regular basis, hold annual conventions where a large amount of resources are at your disposition and have a job bank where you will be able to search for opportunities in your field.
