This can be especially important if you still have a job, so you have some downtime to relax, enjoy your hobbies and socialise.\r\n\r\nYou might choose to only search for jobs on three evenings a week, for example. Or if you\u2019re not currently working, from 10am to 4pm each day. This may mean tightly scheduling your time and streamlining your process so you can maximise your efforts. Why not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">set up some job alerts<\/a> so relevant roles arrive straight in your inbox?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11261\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/charity-stress-exercise-regularly.jpg\" alt=\"relax and enjoy your hobbies for good mental health\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Ask for help","content":"<h2><strong>Ask for help<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nJob hunting can be lonely, so when you need some help, make sure you ask for it.
