It's T.A.C.O. Tuesday! I used to dislike acronyms at work, but to stay motivated, I created T.A.C.O. It stands for: T - try to (set aside time or revamp the resume), A - ask around, C - contacts to use for networking, and O - (think) outside the box. This might sound a bit cheesy, but have you used acronyms at work before, and what would your acronym be now?

It's interesting you mention that. I was talking to a friend last week and said my current motto is Always Be Applying, which would reduce to ABA. I was thinking about that because there are days when I just don't feel like it, and I have to give myself a kick to keep going. ABA all the way!

I love this! Thank you for sharing, I do love an acronymn. I have used them at work before but haven't had a role for about six months now. Hoping to find a new job soon.

I will honest, I was thinking about tacos, but then felt it could work with helping with job searches.

Really hoping to avoid judgment on this post. Has anyone had to sign up for government or state assistance after becoming unemployed? Was the process difficult?
