DWhen you no longer have a job to report for every day，you can easily lose motivation．Treat your job search like a regular job，with a daily"start"and"end"time．Following a set schedule will help you be more efficient and productive while you're out of a job．

FYou can't control how quickly a possible boss calls you back or whether or not he decides to hire you．Rather than wasting your energy and time on things that are out of your hands，turn your attention to things you can control during the time when you are out of a job，such as writing a great cover letter and resume to the company you want to work for，setting up meetings with your networking contacts and so on．
