RIDING OUT THE SUMMER DOLDRUMS
When the heat rises, many in career transition are tempted to put their job search on hold. However, the summer provides a prime opportunity for personal and professional development that will reinvigorate you. Here are a few ways to enhance yourself, without breaking a sweat:
- Read a book. Whether you choose the most recent Harry Potter hit or a classic, find a book that will stimulate your mind and provide the basis for striking up conversation at future networking events and interviews. Some books that provide business insights, and also make good summer reading:
- The Dilbert Principle
- First, Break All the Rules
- Now, Discover Your Strengths
- Win-Win Career Negotiations
- Nuts!: Southwest Airlines' Crazy Recipe for Business and Personal Success
- Learn a new skill. Hone your computer skills, take up a foreign language, or learn how to work with financial statements. Many community colleges and universities hold continuing education sessions throughout the year, and additional courses are available online.
- Treat yourself during the weekday. Take in a matinee movie or go to a daytime baseball game. Your working colleagues will be jealous.
- Network in unusual places. Many networking groups do not meet in the summer. To keep growing your network, there are always new people to meet: at the pool, on the golf course, or at your kid’s day camp.
- Volunteer. Non-profit and community groups are always looking for assistance. The amount of time and energy you contribute is up to you – a few hours at a soup kitchen or providing pro bono services in your area of expertise. You’ll feel rewarded for your contribution while benefiting your community.
- Get outside. If you’re inclined to summer weather, take advantage of your available time by visiting local gardens and parks. Go boating or birdwatching to relax and focus your energy on something other than your career.
- Partner with a career coach. The summer slowdown in recruiting and networking activities provides time for you to do some career- and self-exploration. Both can be done more quickly and powerfully with a coach, so that you’ll be primed and ready for the upswing in job search activities in the Fall.
