Job seekers: Keep your heads up

Going through a job search myself, I know how frustrating and alienating it can get, which is why I was glad to find this great piece of advice in an MSN Careers article:

Searching for a job can be difficult and lonely. You may interview with dozens of companies, never to hear from them again, and you may experience many unreturned phone calls as well. In the midst of all this adversity, it’s important to maintain a positive attitude and an upbeat outlook. Becoming discouraged only works against you.

As individuals, we can’t change the economy or the enormous competition we’re up against. But we can try our best to remain hopeful and keep persevering.
