How To Get Out Of The Rut In Your Job Search

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Looking for a job after being involuntarily let go from a position is difficult under any circumstances. In today's economy — with a national unemployment rate that recently topped 8 per cent — a job search can be prolonged, and the effects can be even more pronounced on your day to day life.

"It's a big challenge to your capacity to adapt, just like a prolonged illness is a challenge and causes stress on you and your family," said Simon Hudson from Personal Career Solutions, a consultancy focused on giving career advice to existing mid to senior level executives.

When a person loses a job, he or she is likely to experience anger, stress, and feelings of anxiety and depression. Left unchecked, these feelings can become detrimental, hindering their ability to search effectively for a new job.

In short, our natural responses may work against us.
