Black Friday Job Search

Black Friday Job Search Are you one to take advantage of Black Friday?  I have once or twice, and while it was an adrenaline-rush experience, its not anything I care to do. I want to be with my family and friends and so I stay home and avoid shopping experiences. If you dont have family or friends to be with, and are using some quiet time for your job search, you know that reaching out to people will get you no responses today.  What can you do?  Go for Stephen Coveys habit #7: Sharpen your saw. Read something, watch an online course, practice something, do something.  Expand your knowledge.  Nothing wrong with taking time to sharpen the saw.  Heres a quote supposedly from Abraham Lincoln: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the  axe.” â€"  Abraham Lincoln What are you doing to keep your saw sharp?  Heres an expanded anecdote of this concept.
