Cut this lie out of your life immediately if you desire a job
And they continue wondering why they aren’t getting jobs and are miserable at their current job.
They are the only roadblock to landing their next role because they have a stellar background and plenty of experience.
Hold up.
Applying to many jobs requires a few clicks and a little bit of typing.
Many people are likely playing on their phones while they watch tv anyways. Instead of doing nothing of value, you can put those fingers to work.
You can actually apply for jobs WHILE watching tv and NOT miss your show.
If you desire a new job, currently work a demanding full-time job, and don’t feel like applying, use the coupling system.
Remember, praying and hoping to land your next role doesn’t work unless you work.

Productivity Hack: Temptation Bundling
Pair watching tv with applying to jobs so you’re still progressing toward your career goals.
Watching tv and not applying to jobs will guarantee you one result: that you don’t land a new role.
Don’t get sucked into watching TV without consistently acting on your goals.
Instead, pair this unproductive activity with a productive task, and make your goals a reality.
Other Times You Can Get In Some Quick Job Apps:
Getting your nails done.
Doing cardio at the gym.
Waiting in line at the store.
While you’re using the bathroom.
Waiting at a doctor’s appointment.
While you’re waiting for your food.

Easy Applies
LinkedIn has an “easy apply” feature that allows you to apply for a job in a few 1–5 clicks.
Leveraging this feature allows you to apply to hundreds of jobs exceptionally quickly.
People frequently ask me if one can land a role using the “easy apply” feature, and the answer is yes.
I’ve landed two roles (one start-up and one enterprise role) utilizing the “easy apply” feature.
It’s true; it works. And it creates such an easy win.
No, this feature shouldn’t be your only application method, but it’s perfect when you’re on the go and need to make some quick progress to build momentum.
