Well, that would be one thing to work on.

This may or may not be something else to work on.

Another thing to work on, I suppose.  'Though, I guess, you'd have to ask
yourself what the point in finding a job is.  I assume it's just to earn
money and save for retirement?

Well, the job hunting is not the goal -- it's the job that's the goal.

In any case, it doesn't have to consciously be positive reinforcement --
it can be subconscious.  But, that would have to be your choice.

In any case, finding a group to be in may be the most helpful.  And, then,
finding a single person to meet with more regularly may be yet more
helpful.
