1. Make looking for a job your job. Search classifieds on Craigslist
and others and respond to the ads. Make sure you write something
specific in your cover letter to each individual job post. Make sure
you follow the instructions for responding to that ad to a T.
Follow up on responses, but dont act desperate. Remember people want
what they cant have balance this and make it seem (act) like you are in
demand and trying to decide on the best opportunity for YOU. Step 2
here is going to become the reason why you do not necessarily NEED the
job.
2. Start your own business. Offer your services on the
internet. Post ads on Craigslist, OLX, and e-mail me for others
these are free. If you cannot afford a website go to
http://www.wordpress.com and set up a free blog. You can even spend $10 on a Domain name at
http://www.godaddy.com
and point that domain name to your blog (its called domain forwarding).
Get 1 client. Your first client will be your beginning at a new
career and a new way of life literally. That client will lead to
more clients. It will also build your confidence, which will make it
that much easier to get new clients. People can hear the confidence in
your voice when they speak with you. They can also hear any lack of
confidence so get excited about what you are doing and the confidence
will come out naturally. Read my article on Passion at

Tell all of your friends and family, neighbors, and everyone you
can about your new business venture. This will also help to get you
excited about it. Get free business cards at Vista Print, or spend a
few dollars if you can afford and either way custom design some nice
ones. You can easily do this with MS Publisher, or MS Word. They even
have templates you can use that make it easy. Hand them out to everyone
you see!
