A Job Search can be a very lonely and a very scary process, particularly if you are unemployed. Your friends certainly want you to succeed but they may be a little uncomfortable talking about your search.

They have all been in your shoes, so-to-speak, in that they have successfully conducted job searches themselves, in addition to guiding many clients through the job search process. Read More »
Managing Your Job Search Stress
For some people, managing the emotional side of their job search represents the biggest challenge, particularly if they are unemployed. JSO input, tools and techniques can be of enormous value here.
Simply having a well organized approach to your job search will help but, nevertheless, almost all job searchers experience significant emotional peaks and valleys. Going from the high of “Wow, this job looks perfect for me!!” to the lows of “Boy, I really blew that interview.” can be pretty tough. Even the best tools in the world cannot eliminate these swings.
The key thing is to recognize when you are down, what job search related tasks you can do when you’re feeling like that and which to avoid and what you can do to recover as quickly as possible. Of course, your JSO coach can be a tremendous help in making that recovery.
