What you should do is set a “Quit Date”, a goal number for a financial survival fund, and scale back on needless expenses immediately (like cable, takeout, sodas, etc…) so you can put that money in the bank. Then take 10 to 15 minutes every day to sift through job postings and send emails offering your services.

Turn off your cell phone, close your email, get off Twitter, stop checking Facebook, stop listening to music, and focus while you’re doing your work.
