Power to do
Oh yes, work is not always a pleasure! Sometime you have to do what you have to do. What is not killing us making us stronger :) But seriously, often job is far from being the best one and always there are some disadvantages or minuses in work.
For me, the only way to get through is to know the purpose. Is what you are doing now going to get you where you want to be or not? However, most important - are you enjoying all the way!

Talking about alternative ways to find job
Just wanted to share true life story of a person who used very unique approach in his job search. Lets call him Tim, only for the example sake.
Tim was looking for job. He applied through recruiters, but it didn't give him results he was aiming for. Eventually, he decided to address the job search problem creatively. He first selected 5-10 companies that he considered interesting and worthy of him. Tim found out information about directors, owners, and major directors names in the company through Linkedin. Further he created AdWord campaign though Google targeting those people's names (directors and hiring managers in companies he was interested in).
When those people went online and searched for their names they saw Tim's ad. In the ad text he promoted himself saying something like- looking for the best employee, contact me, and as a landing page he had blog post with his cv.
Very easy and creative. Tim eventually, got few good job offers and just choosed the one he liked the most :)
Good luck with your job search! Hope the tip was useful!

The best tips for CV that "sells"

Think about CV as about the product of the company called “YOU”. The same marketing principles when companies market their products apply when you are looking for a job. It doesn’t mean that you have to be marketing GURU to find a job. However, keep in mind following:
1) Choose area of your interest. Where would you like to work in first place? What job excites you and what skills you have to get that job?
2) Make a research. What employers are looking for in people? What expert’s CV in this industry looks like? What is existing demand in the industry?
3) Prepare CV. Think what future employer may be interested in. Do you have those qualities listed? What makes you stand out from others? Find out who might want to hire you and why? Create the most positive impression about yourself while still being truthful.
4) Make your CV look professional. It is important to be specific, use professional jargon, show numbers of your achievements or responsibilities, describe details when it is appropriate so that potential employer can judge that you are truly experienced, professional and have qualities he/she is looking for.
5) Choose the package. It is the most important thing in the whole CV creating process! Make sure that throughout CV 1) all font is the same 2) that you talk about experience in the same style (e.g. responsibilities/achievements, or only responsibilities, or without specification, etc) 3) that there is no grammar mistakes 4) that you are using nice and same layout.
6) Make it attractive. Don’t be afraid to use adjectives. Words like: strong, professional, solid, bright, confident, excellent, reliable, and other will give boost to your CV and will make it shine among others.
7) Product testing. Check if your CV is “buyable”. Give it to some of your friends to read and to provide you with feedback. You want to make sure that when your potential employer sees it he/she will know why you are applying and what qualities you have that suits the job best.
8) Sell your CV. Now it is time to act. Look for opportunities to “sell” your CV to your potential “customers”. Friends, Linkedin, Facebooks, Newspapers, FAS, companies open days, targeted/professional meetings, and etc. Choose companies you are interested in and contact them even prior to job opening!
9) Don’t give up. Unfortunately, you will receive rejections, no’s, and even no reply in large numbers. Don’t give up! Quantity and persistence WILL PAY OFF!
