3 Ways to Avoid Burnout During the Job Search

Job searching can be a job itself, and not necessarily a good one. There’s no pay, benefits, stability, or work life balance. It’s also thankless. There will be no one to offer assurances that your work is appreciated, or even noticed. No bonuses, catered lunches, or cold brew on tap. However, it'll be the most important job you’ll ever have while you’re looking for actual employment. It’s easy to become bitter, disheartened, or just plain exhausted over the course of your job hunt. Here are three ways to avoid burnout during your job search.
