As CEO of Stewart, Cooper & Coon, Inc., I have advised thousands of executives on their job search campaigns. Becoming depressed during a lengthy stretch of unemployment is something I see all too often among these talented business leaders.
When negative thoughts start to creep into your mind, slow down and objectively reflect on these damaging notions. Ask yourself “Am I jumping to conclusions or generalizing? What’s the most upsetting part of this hardship? What’s the best/worst that can happen? What’s most likely to happen?” These assessments can often dispel a self-fulfilling spiral of failure and help you cope during the job search process.
