Topic: Motivating Yourself in a Job Search
Staying motivated and keeping a positive attitude is SO important in your job search. Searching for a job can be a challenging, stressful, and ultimately necessary part of any career. Sometimes even the most determined job seeker can have difficulty staying motivated when he or she receives little response from prospective employers or, sometimes worse, polite rejections. Join our guest speaker Jim O'Connor as he addresses "Motivating Yourself in a Job Search".
