This week's question:

I was reading the article about moving forward in the face of bleak economic news, however, I believe it would behoove the career center to blog about how to move forward in the face of personal discouragement. In looking for a job I find that there are days when it becomes overwhelming and I get bogged down, not only by the news, but my own personal sense of impossibility. For me, it takes a good run, and I am ready to trudge through more cover letters, internet searches and informational interviews.

Thank you.
