Cold weather can be paralyzing. It’s not just that we don’t want to go outdoors in the snow and ice. It even stops us from functioning indoors. For most people the cold weather just makes them want to curl up in front of the fire, or go back to bed.
Even when finding a job is an imperative the cold weather slows us down. It’s much easier to put off that difficult phone call, or postpone writing that letter because you are not in the right mood. But however understandable, lethargy doesn’t help your job search.
There is one crumb of comfort though. Everyone is in the same boat. In a market where the competition for jobs is immense, anything that diminishes your competitors’ advantage works in your favour.
So, if everyone else has put their job search on ice and you can motivate yourself to keep plugging away despite the cold weather, you are improving your chances of getting a job.
And if you still feel you are in need of motivation then maybe it is time to join a job club, or engage the services of a motivational career professional.
