I have heard words are just that words and they don’t hurt. More deaths have been caused by words than bombs I think.

Well I can assure you it is not.

Some people resort to drugs or booze to treat their emotional situation. This is never a good idea, if it is getting that bad talk to a professional, do not self medicate. It will only dull your senses and make you less appealing to the hiring person.

Go read a “self improvement” book. Not to improve you, but just to have some positive thoughts roaming around your brain for a while. These books are great to keep positive ideas and techniques in your awareness and I encourage everyone to be reading one. Yes there is rejection out there but don't let the first person to reject you be you. If you do then you'll be setting the tone for every employer to do the same. Remember they are looking for people who are positive about themselves and what they have to offer.
