Staying positive in your job search

Its no secret that it can be very difficult to stay positive when your job search is taking much longer than you want...and when it seems like everyone else BUT you is getting hired.

If you are feeling this way - I highly recommend following the link below to an excellent article that discusses how negativity can significantly impact your job search, along with some tips to help you present yourself to potential employers with a "glass half full" type attitude.

http://msn.careerbuilder.com/Article/MSN-2927-Job-Search-5-attitudes-that-lead-to-job-search-failure-and-5-that-lead-to-success/?SiteId=cbmsnhp42927&sc_extcmp=JS_2927_home1

Remember...noone else can "get" you a job.  It's up to you to remain positive and to resist the urge to participate in feeling badly about yourself.  Your attitude (as the article points out) is one of the only things you CAN control in your job search.
