moreIt's a lot easier to put on a happy face at the office when things are going well. But in lean times amid hiring freezes and an unpredictable future, it can be difficult to remain optimistic when you're on the job, especially when bad news about the economy is prevalent. Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want, has pinpointed several strategies to help anyone become happy.

moreAs the old axiom goes, looking for a job is a full time job. Thats true whether youre conducting your search online or off.
