If you’re anything like the average person, filling in applications and attending interviews isn’t your idea of fun. The job search is tough at the best of times, and after a few weeks and multiple rejection emails, many of us reach the point where it feels like we’ll never find the position we want. This is what we’re calling the “job search blues”—the feelings of despair that hit at a certain point in the process. Nobody is immune; in fact, higher-level job seekers like executives and directors often feel them harder than anyone else due to the pressure they face and the attachment they have to their careers.
