Feeling Stuck in Your Job Search? Here's How to Stay Motivated and Move Forward when Changing Careers

Job hunting can be tough—especially when applications go unanswered or interviews don’t lead anywhere. If you're an adult in Ireland currently struggling to find work or if you are considering changing careers, you're not alone. The important thing is not to lose hope—and to focus on what you can control.

Here are some quick, practical ways to stay motivated and keep momentum going:

1. Set Small, Achievable Goals

Instead of applying to 10 jobs in a day, aim for 2 well-tailored applications. Break the process into manageable steps like updating your CV, researching companies, or preparing one answer for a common interview question.

2. Stick to a Routine

Treat your job search like a job—have a start and finish time. Build in breaks, get outside, and keep up healthy habits. Structure helps you stay productive without burning out.

3. Reflect on What You Can Offer

You have more to offer than you might think. Think about the skills you’ve gained from previous roles, volunteer work, parenting, or even hobbies. These transferable skills can open doors to new careers, which becomes even more important when changing careers.

4. Ask for Help

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. A fresh set of eyes can make all the difference.
