Motivation for your job search

Hunting for the perfect job can be a difficult, lengthy process, and it's important not to let the knock-backs get you down.

Set goals and take action.
Keep networking. Keep in touch with old contacts and make the effort to meet new people
Don't be disheartened if you don't get the first, second or third job you have been interviewed for. Instead of feeling rejected, treat the process as a learning experience. Ask for feedback and think about what you can change next time.
Set up an email address and have jobs emailed to you. It is a real boost having suitable jobs arriving in your inbox.
Let employers look for you, by registering your CV on SecretarialCareers.co.uk.
Sign up with recruitment consultants. Consultants know about the current job market and are skilled at looking at how your skills and abilities might fit jobs you haven't previously thought of.
If your skills are rusty, get some training to boost your prospects.
Treat your job hunt like any other professional project. Set yourself deadlines and use your time effectively.
Take exercise. Your brain needs oxygenated blood to work well.
Take regular breaks and have fun! It's always important to maintain a balance between work and play. Check out Lastminute.com for some cheap breaks or Toptable.co.uk for a nice evening out.
