Especially with COVID, is the lack of meaningful conversations causing your internal motivation to lag?

Rather than just setting a goal of applying to X number of positions in a week, maybe an additional goal should be having X number of conversations with people in the Salesforce ecosystem.

Ideally, a phone call (or better yet, video), as a lot more can be accomplished, plus the human element comes into play in someone’s voice/tone/emotion, versus a written LOL.

Don’t think of it as a way of landing a position, but rather the opportunity to hear things you haven’t heard, or ideas for you to think about, or new questions for you to ask.

And you may even hear, “You know what, you should talk to so and so, they would be a good contact for you and I heard they had an open position”.

Making connections and having good conversations can help keep us going another day.

Sure, people are busy, but some might be experiencing the same loneliness as you and are looking for that conversation to be had.

It could help make your day (and theirs) a little more enjoyable.
