julie_watsonStaying positive during the job search can be challenging, especially if you are not currently employed. When times get tough, I find inspiration in quotes. Sometimes I’ll pick a one for the week and use it like a mantra. Anytime I start to feel discouraged, I remind myself of that little piece of wisdom.
