10 Mistakes People Make with Unemployment and Looking for a Job (plus 1 bonus):
1. Think they will never find another a job again so they convey desperation rather than confidence (it shows).
2. Minimize all the skills they have to offer a new employer.
3. Allow feelings of hopelessness/despair (it's only natural) to paralyze them from rebounding.
4. Forget their network of family and friends, etc, are the best source for referrals.
5. Don't hunt enough (looking for a job should be a full time job in itself ~ put in the time).
6. Take a closed door, "no" answer or not being chosen for a position too personally.
7. Don't take care of themselves (get enough sleep, eat right, exercise, etc).
8. Give in to bitterness and anger (it's not your loved ones fault that you lost your job).
9. Overlook sharpening skills or learning new ones.
10. Forget there are many opportunities online.
BONUS Think they will never be unemployed so they don't prepare for the potential (should have at bare minimum 3 months worth of mortgage and living expenses saved; 6 months is better).
