If you're feeling stressed out don't over do it take a break from your search for a day or two if you need you're still providing for yourself. Just keep in mind that if you want to move on that your breaks can't be too long. Perhaps set aside some time on your day off.

I am in this situation currently and have been before, too! I would dedicate on day/night a week to job searching online. I would fill out 3-5 applications and then send them all out. It really helped to keep a log of where I applied and when to keep me organized.

It can be very challenging trying to find a new job while still working full or even part-time. It can also be stressful and a bit frightening. I would suggest making a "to do" list and just devote one hour each day before or after work to prepare/update your resume, look through classifieds, email or contact job leads, etc. so it doesn't feel so overwhelming. And reach out to someone here if it begins to feel too daunting. We have all been in that situation and talking to someone who cares can help a lot. Whatever happens, remember we are here for you whenever you need a kind ear.

Setting up a daily schedule is a good way. Set time look for jobs and to file and submit applications. Keep to the schedule even if you only set aside 20 minutes a day for it.

Scheduling a set amount of time every day to work on extracurricular activities can relieve the stress of doing those tasks during the work day. Finding a new job is no different. Negotiating interviews, and appointments, can be really tough but keep in mind that potential employers want to work with you around those timing issues. They want the best candidate for the job and they understand that you currently have one.

Well, you can always look for a new job in your free time. I mean, whenever you are at home watching television, what about taking about half an hour of your time and try searching for these jobs? It really depends where you can find the time and how badly you want another job! Just keep trying and you will definitely find one!

Keep a look out for new jobs in the local newspapers, or even online. If you get a day off, spend some of that time looking further as well. It is easy to send your CV via email to any potential employers so make sure you have a saved copy on your computer/ laptop. That way if you find something you can apply for it straight away.
