Here is a short list, off the top of my head, of lackadaisical job seeker behaviors: 1. Returning calls days later rather than hours or minutes later. 2. Losing self control in conversations and either talking too much or not answering questions. 3. Spending the majority of time at home applying for jobs online. 4. Sending out mass emails asking for help. 5. Finding escapes from working at it, such as television or shopping or golf. 6. Attending group networking events, job fairs, etc. 7. Wasting time and precious energy blaming a boss (or the economy or a spouse or others) for the current situation.
