But I can't help but sometimes feel a bit bad about myself when I see such idyllic stories. I know I should read this and feel motivated, but part of me feels like there is no way I can be so dedicated and meticulous. That I don't have the energy or tenacity to undertake a job search that is so personalized. That every other job searcher out there is more perfect than I am. Sounds like Terri was able to stay on track because she had developed such a clear vision of what she wanted. But what if one doesn't? I'd love to hear more about keeping spirits up during the job-hunting journey. Of overcoming adversity. and, maybe, a little bit of permission to wallow sometimes...
