Let me add one comment. Job Search is an Emotional Roller Coaster ride. At BJM (Between Jobs Ministry), we’ve helped more than 13,000 people land new jobs since 1999. We’ve learned to teach that you should only spend 30 hours per week in job search. Give the remaining 10 hours to doing many of the things on this list to rebuild your emotional strength. If you don’t, you will find networking hard and you won’t interview well.

Thanks for commenting, Rita.

I’m hoping that, along with laying out some steps to get energized in a protracted job search, this post will affirm that indeed today’s job search can be trying and daunting, and that job seekers are not alone in experiencing disappointments and setbacks.

Best,
Meg

Meg, these are great recommendations. I think that numbers 1 – 4 can result in what I call an energy surge. Just reviewing materials, looking for dropped contacts, and something I have not seen mentioned before – #3 – sharing ideas and resources with another – can be a great energy boosters
