Calling In Sick To Work – Did you Call In Sick Today?

Calling In Sick To WorkThoughts About Calling In Sick To Work

YourCareerDoctor has a few thoughts about calling in sick.

When it comes to calling in sick, there are two types of people.

The first type is someone who is genuinely sick and or needs a mental health day.  People in this category use sick days to rest and recover.  On occasion, it is a good idea to use a sick day to maintain your mental health (deal with stress, relax or refresh).

The other type of person is someone who is disengaged.  According to a 2017 Gallop poll, disengaged workers represent between 33% and 49% of the workforce.   More commonly, disengaged workers feel undervalued, not respected, and unchallenged.  These feelings lead to the desire to call in sick more often.  Calling in sick represents an avenue to escape dissatisfaction at work.

As a career coach, I’ve had many conversations with workers who are disengaged and dissatisfied with their job. I always encourage them to find a resolution to stay in their position or find a new job.  If you find yourself in a situation where you are not happy at work and have tried everything else to resolve your problems, you may want to consider getting another job.  At YourCareerDoctor, we firmly believe you have the power to own your career (#ownmycareer).  With that in mind, we encourage you to visit our job board to view open positions.

Our job board has 1000’s of open positions in multiple cities in the United States.  Here are a few links to some of the hottest markets and job categories on our job board.

Job Search Tips – Three Tips To Speed Up Your Job Search

Job Search TipsHopefully, this post finds you well.

YourCareerDoctor wanted to share three tips that will speed up the time it takes to find your next job.

One of the most challenging things is to figure out when to search for jobs.

A recent survey found that most job seekers check their mobile device at least twice a day to search for jobs.

Does this sound like you?  The overall goal is to have a successful search.

Here are a few tips to speed up your job search.

Best Three Job Searching Tips

  • Tip 1 – Look for a job over the weekend – At least 50% of people find their jobs over the weekend.  This means that Friday through late Sunday night is one of the best times to search for jobs.  Most employers post on our job board during the week to ensure jobs are posted by the weekend.  Focusing your search during this time can yield greater results.
  • Tip 2 – Best time to search for jobs – Data from our job board shows most visitors tend to search for jobs between 7-9am and 9-11pm, Monday through Friday. These job seekers start and end their day looking for jobs. We recommend searching during these times or when you get a chance.  Often, the competition for jobs can be intense. So, stay on top of things and search often.
  • Tip 3 – Be proactive – Many job seekers report waiting between three to seven days to submit an application after finding a job of interest.  Due to the long wait, many miss the opportunity to apply, as the job may close or the screening process begins. YourCareerDoctor recommends applying for the job soon after it is found.  This advice assumes that you have taken time to tailor your resume and cover letter to fit the position.

As always, these tips are presented to help you have the best opportunity to achieve your job search goals.  Hopefully, this post gives you some things to think about before you apply for your next job.

At YourCareerDoctor, we want to help you have a healthy career. Feel free to visit our job board to find a job, or visit our coaching site to learn about our services.  We hope you have a great week!

Sincerely,

Dr. Derrick E. Haynes — YourCareerDoctor
