According to leading experts, you should "Take this time to be pro-active in developing your strategies and skills."

Be sure to spend a few minutes of true introspection to uncover as much about yourself and your best assets as possible. Although this is sometimes easier said than done, it is important to keep it in perspective. Here are some thoughts on ways to keep your job search, along with your personal development, on track.
