When you are out of work, a lingering recession can take a psychological toll on you and your family. Under these adverse conditions, you may feel challenged to keep a cool head and persist in your job search. So, what can you do to reduce stress and power your job-search efforts? Here you'll find six coordinated psychological themes to weather this prolonged economic storm and move forward to get reemployed.

Master therapist Ed Garcia, former business executive and Graduate Center CUNY psychologist Ron Parker, psychologist and Fearless Job Hunting co-author Nancy Knaus, and I share knowledge on how to deal with the psychological parts of a job search. I give a brief overview of each of the six themes in this blog. In the comment section that follows, you'll get a summary of our joint participation on each theme which we did before a live audience.

The comment section fleshes out the themes. In this case, the comments are a "must read" for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the themes and how to apply them to do better in life and in your job search.
