I have a quick tip for anyone going through a difficult job search. Turn off the news for a week. Don’t watch news on TV, don’t read the newspaper, and don’t ready news sites on the world wide web.

The news feed you a steady stream of doom and gloom. Studies have show that people get depressed after consuming large quantities of news programming. So take a break.

Take that time and do something that you love. Talk a walk or go golfing. Whatever it is just don’t turn on CNN. I’ll bet after a week you will have a better outlook.
