Be encouraged. The market seems to be rebounding. I see increased activity in the job market and certainly my LinkedIn profile (www.LinkedIn.com) has been 'on fire' ---which means that recruiters are searching for YOU. What are you looking to do in your career? Do future employers know how to find you?
Build a Great Profile
Help them out- start by building a great profile that reflects your accomplishments and highlights your strengths. It is important to stand out in this crowded marketplace. You can walk through the details of building a powerful brand in my recent book Brand YOU available in bookstores near you or on Amazon or other online retailers. Yes, OK, I couldn't avoid adding in an advertisement there (laugh). Many have found the book very helpful in reviewing and creating a stellar personal brand. I trust that you will also.
Dream a Big Dream
Define goals for yourself that take you where you want to go. Dream a big dream and never stop dreaming. So many that I've talked to got to a certain place in life where they just stopped dreaming. Start dreaming again. It isn't so hard, really. Opportunities abound and you can certainly chase them.
Chin Up
Keep a positive attitude. Positivity breeds good things. Good luck- and keep at it. I'm rooting for you.
