Dealing with setbacks in the job search & on the job

The chat topic for Monday, March 27, 2017's chat is actually inspired by three articles: Moving Forward: How to Overcome a Career Failure by Lindsay Danas Cohen at The Muse; Bouncing Back from Job Loss: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Job Hunters by Margie Warrell at Forbes, and How I've Learned to Overcome Setbacks in my Life and Career by Chris Winfield at FastCompany. I couldn't just pick one article that had every aspect I was looking to highlight so that's why this topic has three inspirations
