Staying motivated when a search takes longer than expected can be particularly
challenging. The techniques job-seeking attorneys used when their search began may
no longer be effective or appropriate several months into the process. It's critical to
continually reassess strategy and take steps to keep up morale. Following are

discouraging. So it's worth taking a second look at primary goals. Sometimes attorneys
find they have inadvertently been setting themselves up for failure. For instance, if they
feel they have limited their prospects to companies in a certain geographic area, they
may need to expand their searches. Even with today's gas prices, would driving an extra
30 minutes each way be worth it for the right opportunity? Would a position with a lower
base salary that is closer to home, yet with the room for advancement be better overall?
Lawyers should decide on their absolute must-haves and be prepared to compromise on
those aspects of the job that are like-to-haves, particularly in a tightening job market.

· Giving it a rest. When job seekers feel they've run into another dead end, or they just
