I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine who has been diligently seeking new employment for more than nine months. Despite securing great interviews and even getting consulting work, she has not been able to get a full time job.
To avoid getting mired in depression and giving up hope, she has become actively involved in a job search ministry through her church. Of course, they cannot offer guarantees or even job employment, but their approach is to support jobseekers from a mental, emotional and spiritual perspective. After all, losing your job affects a lot more than your financial status.
Being successful in your executive job search requires diligence, the right mindset and the right attitude, but we are all susceptible to the spirit of discouragement, why not consider joining a support group with members who can cheer you on when you feel like giving up and challenge you to be your best?Over at Job Hunt, they have done an excellent job of identifying key networking and job support resources in all the states.
