@markwilmson: Thinking about quitting your job so you can “finally focus” on your job search? Don’t do it. Not yet. There’s a trap waiting for you on the other side, and most people walk right into it. Because here’s what nobody tells you…It’s actually harder to get hired when you’re unemployed. I know that sounds backwards, but it’s 100% true. Hiring managers will deny it all day long, but the research says otherwise: 📉 It takes 2 to 3 times longer to get hired when you’re unemployed. 📉 The longer you’re unemployed, the fewer interviews you’ll get. 📉 Hiring isn’t fair, it’s biased. And yes… some employers see your unemployment as a red flag, even if it wasn’t your fault. Why? Because most companies don’t select candidates, they eliminate them. They’re looking for reasons to cut people, not keep them. It’s like dating on Love Is Blind…you’re trying to be chosen, but the minute something’s “off,” they ghost you. Same thing here. You’re a maybe… until you’re not. If you want to leave your job, here’s what to do: ✅ Start your search while you’re still employed. You’ll show up more confident. You’ll negotiate better. You’ll have options. Plus, it gives you leverage—because nobody’s desperate. And if you’re telling yourself: “I just need time to focus on the job search…” Let me stop you right there. You don’t need more time. You need better strategy. Because job searching 8 hours a day will burn you out fast. Instead, use part of your energy to: - Earn a certification - Volunteer for something that builds your skills - Grow your network or side hustle Do something that builds your value while you quietly line up your next move. So, tell me in the comments. Have you ever quit a job too soon? Or wished you held on longer? 👇 Let’s talk about it. The link to my full interview training course is in my bio.
