Well, my friend, you are not alone.

Staying motivated during a prolonged job search is more challenging than actually going on an interview.

Here are some tips to keep you motivated:

Keep busy by lending a hand - do volunteer work or help a neighbor in need. It will raise your self-esteem and the feel good quotient that can be sorely depleted during a job search.

Get temp or contract work – this will give you a few bucks and provide structure to your week.

Shake your booty – Move, exercise, dance. The endorphin release alone will carry you forward into more activity.

Get rid of clutter – throw out stuff or donate it to charity. This always works for me. I end up feeling good about the new space I’ve created. The tax deduction isn’t bad either.

Learn from the successful job seeker – who among your contacts has landed a job recently? Find out how they did it!

Drop the whiners – your sanity depends upon it! The last thing you need is a pity party.

Join a job search club – get support from other job seekers. Many state employment offices offer job groups, as do local community centers and churches.
