How to stay motivated

4 months of job searching, countless interviews and waiting to hear back from people who have no urgency or decency to respond it seems.

How do you stay motivated? I am really struggling at the moment and feel like I am hitting a brick wall 😢

Watching with interest. Only a month since redundancy for me but I’m finding it hard. I’ve done all the job boards, applying directly, LinkedIn. A whole bunch of us were laid off at the same time and others are taking the summer off before looking but I’m in panic mode

Sorry you are in the same boat, it's hard isn't it. At least you are one step ahead of your co workers if you are applying already 👍

Also in the same boat. It's been 6 months here and am a bit broken by it. I am going to take a break from job searching by taking temporary work as I can't keep up with the battering to the self esteem! It's tough. Hope something comes up for you soon.

@Craftyrose sorry to hear you are in the same boat, it's soul destroying isn't it! I am also considering temporary work too, there will be Christmas jobs coming out before long!
