Go beyond online job applications, network
Don't rely on just one avenue to search for a job, and branch out beyond applying online via various platforms by also networking and reaching out to recruiters, Elizabeth Grace Saunders advises. Apply for the jobs you have searched for instead of letting them go, but only apply for jobs you know you want.

Mass. city residents join to build huge paper airplane
Volunteers have been working in Fitchburg, Mass. to construct a 64-foot-long paper airplane, which is too big to fly on its own, but will be lifted in the air by a crane during a public event. Nearly 5,000 people, including students and faculty from 30 schools, helped add paper to the airplane.

You have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
Steve Jobs,
entrepreneur
