I'm going to try putting some of your suggestions into practice. I'm at a crossroads in my career, having recently been separated from my job due to budget cuts. Even though my job loss wasn't an indictment of my worth as a person or the craftsmanship of my work, my confidence still took a significant blow.
Staying motivated while looking, applying, and interviewing for jobs you believe you don't deserve to get is challenging, to say the least.
