Job Search Monotony

Are you suffering from job search monotony? If so, you are not alone.

Job search can feel endless, day after day, applying for jobs; no response, some response; possibly an interview here and there. But, still no job!

Despite the ongoing tedious repetition and routine; it is important to maintain momentum when job searching and this comes with motivation. So, keep at it, no matter how you feel when you wake up in the morning. Do something everyday to move you towards employment.
Perhaps you feel like laying on the couch all day, watching TV; perhaps you want to stay in bed; but, don't. At least not until you have made some movement in your job search. Perhaps you have follow-up emails to do or you could work on tailoring your resume.

On the days that you are feeling particularly confident and productive, make a number of cold calls, attend informational interviews, network, attend functions, volunteer, socialize; connect with other job seekers.
Add variety to your job search to break up the monotony; for instance, explore blogs, utilize social media for information and inspiration.

Persistence and determination will eventually pay off with the end result being a job but you are the only one who can make that happen.
There is light at the end of the job search tunnel but you have to move towards it in order to see it!
