Strategies for job hunting

Looking for a job can be a lengthy and frustrating process. Many people become discouraged, fearing that their next effort will yield negative results. Examples of comments I commonly hear from people are: “I’ve sent out 50 resumes, and still, nothing is happening!” or; “What’s the point? An internal candidate will probably get the job anyway” or; “The jobs I want are so hard to find!” or; “I’m tired of looking. Will I ever be hired?”
