Looking for a job is terribly stressful, in any environment. Today? It’s stressful enough to send anyone to the doctor with a giant-sized ulcer.

Of course, if you are looking for a job, you’re not alone. You probably know this, of course, because you face so much competition for any job worth getting. They say misery loves company. But I’m sure job hunters would like a little less company these days.

But if you are looking for work and you are despondent, you might want to take a look at this blog. It’s the Wall Street Journal’s Laid Off and Looking blog, and it makes for fascinating reading. As the name suggests, the blog follows the highs and the lows of eight different people looking for jobs in today’s recession-adled jobs industry.

Read this and you might pick up some sound job-hunting advice. And you’re certain, too, to at least feel a bit of comfort in knowing that there are many, many people in your exact situation.
