The Last Step Speaking from personal experience there is a feeling that when you send in the perfect application for the perfect job you deserve to take a break and see how it works out. STOP IT! The only good reasons to deviate from a well-designed job search plan is a) because you landed a new job; b) a family emergency; or c) hospitalization. Otherwise you have to keep going, most importantly because the job you were really meant to have may have been just around the corner from the job application you just submitted and you can’t afford to miss it.
