Sorry to hear about your job, Clod. However, I have to disagree with the above statement. Done correctly, a job search is a full time occupation.

- Get yourself a couple of good books on doing a job search from the library.
- Prepare a persuasive resume. Have your friends, your former coworkers and your former boss evaluate it.
- Get someone to practise interviewing skills with you. They hand you difficult questions, and you work on wording your answers.

Once that's done you should be doing some of the following every day.

1) Searching for new prospects.
2) Composing cover letters and mailing them with your (now very persuasive) resume.
3) Going on interviews.

So you now have a full-time job in sales -- selling yourself.
