A few ways to break through your job search stress could include:
Step Three: Progress Beyond the Fear.
Failure and rejection happen to everyone. Repeat that!
Stay positive throughout the ups AND downs, and remember that it’s not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Having a plan for your job search/career change will allow you to not only stay stress-free, but it will also allow you to tweak and edit as you find new details about your abilities, needs, and wants. Don’t beat yourself up if you need to take a day off from your job search to allow yourself to mentally and emotionally rest. This will keep you refreshed and focused in the end.
Uncertainty can be one of the biggest stressors you face in your adult life. The key to facing uncertain times is not giving up! We all find ourselves in situations that can cause stress and uneasiness; how you handle those situations will say a lot about your character.
Create a Job Search Plan, including scheduling your time and activities on a daily/weekly basis.
Stay organized. This could include creating a job application tracker using PC folders, your online calendar or, if you are more comfortable with tactile options, a paper calendar or whiteboard in your office.
Practicing what you know gives you anxiety (interviewing, writing cover letters, or even your professional introduction).
Be Confident!
Use strategy before and during the application process, targeting your self-marketing materials, and professional networks.
