At the beginning of this article, once I read, \you’ve probably come to think that 1) there are tons of jobs out there and 2) you aren’t a fit for any of them,\ I had to finish this wonderful article.

You are so right. My small business recently went under, and I have been on the job hunt, and job hunting online is exactly as you say, it makes you feel like crap, worthless and skill-less.

The most up-beat job hunting website for me is good old Craigslist. It’s refreshing because it’s local people posting local jobs. Craigslist may or may not be your cup of tea, but try this routine while cyber job hunting:

1. Send out two or three resumes each day on the big sites (CareerBuilder & Monster, LinkedIn, etc…)

2. Finish off your 2-4 hours of online job hunting by submitting just ONE resume on your local Craigslist page. Craigslist makes you feel better because you typically get fast response times from the job offers.

3. Take a nice, hour long walk and relax. Focus on positive things in your life. I know, it’s VERY hard, I struggle with it everyday, but just keep at, make each day count.
