5) And finally - this is the MOST IMPORTANT thing anyone in your situation can do. This is what is going to land you the right job. Finding a job is a lot like dating and finding someone to marry. No girl likes a desperate guy who is willing to do anything to get her attention. No matter how cute he is, a hanger-onner is a total turn off. So DO NOT ACT DESPERATE. Employers can smell it a mile away and it is a really unattractive trait.  They dont want to hire someone who needs a job, they want to hire someone who could take it or leave it.  Someone who is still employed. And someone who is NOT depressed. You have got to pick up your moral mister. Pick yourself up. put a smile on your face, go for a run, start working out, spruce up your wardrobe and convince yourself that you are the best candidate and its the employers loss if they dont hire you. never give up, tomorrow could be the day. the minute you give up, you've lost the race.

I agree with this.  Even if you lose the job and are unemployed, develop a business plan as if you were going to start your own business.  Heck, just start your own business!  Then in the interviews for a salaried job, you can then talk about why having your own business made you want to get back into the salaried world.  Don't just act like you aren't desperate, do something to make yourself not desperate.  Work somewhere even if it's temporary.[/quote]
