If you’ve had a couple no replies it can really wear on your confidence level. So, even it out by having a support group by your side.

Something as simple as a code word through text with your good friend or significant other. Say you’ve had a bad day and the job search was a flop, the word can be a reminder to keep your head up. Or you can be more constructive. If what you’ve been doing isn’t working perhaps try dusting off some old contacts or old co-workers. Ask them if they’ve heard about any potential openings, or networking sites you can join. The motivation from the support can really help things turn around.
