Did You Know?
If you’re spending eight hours a day job searching for a job, you're doing it wrong.
The most successful job seekers spent somewhere between one and three hours a day job searching, and some -- mostly job seekers over 41 -- spent less than an hour a day.
The key here is scheduling for success. Just because the best job seekers don’t spend more than three hours a day searching, doesn’t mean they aren’t efficient while they’re searching. Take time to reconsider your job search priorities and plan out how you’re going to spend your time each day. Don’t just jump online and start surfing the web; have a plan and execute it each day.
Schedule time every day for locating only best positions (those you’re at least 75 percent qualified for), researching companies, contacting hiring managers to learn more about the role, and customizing your resume to apply for the best chance at success.
Hi. Yes, I agree with David Morrison. Maybe it would be beneficial for your readers if you show a detailed action plan for those you wrote about above. I know people that are out of work that would really take offense at someone saying they are spending too much time trying to find a job. They have bills to pay and kids to feed. Are they really 'doing it wrong' because they are desperate to find work? Over 93M out of work now in the USA.

Ok, I'm not sure how this works in this area, but you are not the one who even wrote the article. You simply copy and pasted the work of Heather Huhman. In my world, if you are not quoting and giving credit directly to the author it is called Plagiarism.
