Searching for a job is seldom fun and takes a lot of discipline. What do you do when you get discouraged in your search? Here are some tips that are helping me.
- Give yourself permission to take a break and do something fun. This is important to keep a positive outlook
- Make sure you are networked with friends who can offer encouragement
- Get some advice from experts. These days there are a plethora of places on the Internet to find expert help. Some help is free. Some you pay for. Take advantage of both. Brazen Careerist and Careerealism are great places to start
- Remember that every day is one day closer to your next job and every rejection is one step closer.
- Spend time seeking God and staying connected in your local church.
