I spend 1-2 hrs in the morning reading industry news, research, and studies. The rest of the day (5 hrs) I refine the framework I would follow when/if I get a job.

I view it as an outstanding opportunity to learn and prepare. I did something similar 10 years ago during the dotcom crash. When biz was slow, I spent my time learning about strategic planning. It paid dividends for the next decade.

I've been searching for an opportunity for 1 year now, so the framework is quite robust.

The target position I've been looking for is Ecommerce Manager. I've been very close to landing a few jobs, and the reason I haven't been hired was because I'm "overqualified" or "too much horsepower".
