How’s 2013 going for you? Are you having the same issues you had in 2012? If so, ask yourself this, am I doing the same things I did in 2012? If the answer is yes, then you know why you’re getting the same results you got in 2012. If you want different results, you have to do different things.

If you’re looking for a job and you’re using the same unsuccessful methods you used last year, you can pretty much expect the same unsuccessful results you had last year.

Perhaps you never heard or have forgotten Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. – Albert Einstein

Think about what you’ve been doing in your job search and then start exploring different job search methods. If the old way wasn’t successful you’ve got nothing to lose by changing it and everything to gain.

It’s a new year and it’s time for a new perspective on life.

In today’s world each and every one of us needs to look upon ourselves as a Business of One. While this new phrase is growing in popularity some folks aren’t sure just what it means.

My understanding is that you need to think of yourself as a business and the services you provide to an employer are the services your business provides.

With that thought in mind, do a mental review of the success or lack of success you’ve been experiencing in your job search. If your success has been minimal then perhaps it’s time you tried a new method of marketing your Business of One. Remember, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Read the article and watch the video, perhaps you’ll get some ideas on how to change your tactics for better results.

Insanity!

A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Now apply that definition to your job search. Have you been using standard job seeker methods and having no success? If so, maybe it’s time to try something different.

I recently read an article on guerilla job hunting tactics. Not all of the ideas presented will work with every employer. Do your research on the company to which you’re going to apply. Determine if they’re the type of organization that will appreciate a less than traditional approach.
