Going through a job hunt, especially when you are unemployed, is extremely stressful. Beside the pressure you place on yourself, others close to you may expect you to be searching 24 hours a day. If you are not getting interviews they will (or you will image that that are) think that you are not putting your full effort into the search.
To keep the attitude and keep your focus, you need to take breaks. Even if money is tight, find ways to get away and just relax. Go to a movie (try the discount theator), zoo, museum, work out, visit the library, or get together with your relatives and friends (but don’t spend time griping about not having a job).
You will be amazed by how this clears your mind. You will get new ideas for your job search, some crazy, some practical, some that you may even use. This will keep you fresh and sane.
Remember also that you are more than your job – use the time to relax and do things you that you cannot do when you are working.
Sooner or later you will land on your feet and have a job again. Make sure you make the best use of all the time you will have available while looking.
