Finding a job can be very frustrating, and it's hard to keep your spirits up as the job search stretches into months. While this week's article on Having Trouble Finding A Job gives you some tips on survival, it still will really depend on you to keep your attitude positive.

Just don't get caught into the trap of blaming yourself, or others, or a company. If you can, try to find out why you didn't get an interview or the job. While most companies will only give you a basic "if you did not receive a call, your resume/cover letter was not what we were looking for", some might actually give you more pertinent information. And make sure you do go over your cover letter to the job advertised - maybe you are missing something.

Keep looking, keep hunting, and keep taking care of yourself, too.
