Certainly, if you do stop looking for employment, you will never gain a job, so you should find ways of making sure you continue looking, by giving yourself small rewards or by applying some guilt to yourself. Any method that keeps you on the hunt and far away from discouragement is the right one to choose. Just remember, its not really a “job search” if you arent actually searching. Its never really easy to find a good job, even now with the availability of the Internet.
