It is also about making new friends and traveling the world. Life is too short to just stay where you are and not to see other places. In simpler terms, if you want an exciting and a well-lived life, sometimes you just have to go out and look for different experiences.

And you make a good point that the part-time or volunteer initiatives will fuel interview conversations! … as well as boost morale. I couldn't agree more!

Thank you :) Your tips include a nice balance of taking the right steps to look for work while also taking the time for some self-care. <br><br>I also think the suggestion of engaging in some sort of either part-time work or volunteering while one is looking for work sounds like a great idea (when unemployed). It not only provides something to talk about on interviews but it could provide a lead into a job itself and in the interim, it may provide an important morale booster to the job seeker. I'm thinking that maybe I should look into this myself once I've  graduated... As always, you share much value-added advice!

So true (re: it's difficult to step away, especially when looking for a job). I find that social media, such a valuable 'asset' to business and careers, can also be such an energy-depleting vortex, if we are not careful.

Your note is much appreciated!

Finding a balance is key and from personal experience, I know it's hard to step away from twitter, facebook, blogging, etc. when you're on the prowl for a job.
