It's very easy to get down, disillusioned and down-right stressed out when you're job hunting. We've all been there, so here is how I kept my head up in even my darkest job-hunting days.

Set up a schedule
It's hard to keep motivated, so avoid losing drive and keep in mind that it's not instant and may take a while to get a new job. Set up a schedule of when you will sit and search and apply and stick to it, it will help you to keep a positive search attitude.

Set a time limit
You're most likely to get disillusioned if you spend hours upon hours sifting through Adzuna job ads. Restrict yourself to an hour or two a day. If you burn out your applications will suffer, lessening your chances of success.

Use your applications for motivation
Keep a note of each of your applications, how you applied and when. This will motivate you and show you just how much work you've done, and give you a handy help when contacted by a potential employer.
