I think it is REALLY important to stay positive and focused. So many job seekers are stressed to the max, and it really shows at an interview. How does that look to a recruiter that you can’t handle this stress… how would you handle a management crisis?

2 really great tips to stay positive and stress free during a job hunt:

Build a support network. They will help you keep focused on the big prize and be there for you when it isn’t going right. A little laughter and cheer ups from friends is exactly what a doctor would order!

Get a hobby. You gotta look for work.. yes, I know… but you also have to have some time for yourself. Think about job hunting as a 9-5 job. Then in the evenings, enjoy yourself. Start a new hobby to make the job hunt more exciting and fresh. This is another chapter in your life after all!
