In all the postings I've seen on the subject of transition, I haven't noticed one on the subject of motivation (and I'm sure someone will point out the many I've missed). Today's Dustin comic strip brought this to mind. The truth is that when you don't have a job, you have a job. To find a job. You need to work at it every day. Get up, eat a good breakfast. Groom and dress as though going to work. "Go to the office". Put in time. Search for opportunities. Make calls. Ask for referrals. Attend job fairs, virtual and real. You're not off the clock until you're used at least eight hours. Like I said, it's a job.

If you are not working you still have a job, you are a salesman. Everywhere you go you ask, and you look ready to start working now.

When I was transitioning, my 2nd daughter was due 2 weeks before my EAS. I spent a good solid month of my Terminal Leave trying to lock down a job so I could choose a location to settle down in. I also spent the month prior polishing up all those job search tools like resumes, interview practice, references on top of my job search.
As if delivering a baby wasn't stressful enough Hahaha
