The job hunting process is a very difficult for the unemployed who are completely stressed out on finding their next job and their overall survival. Eliminating stress completely may not occur but reducing it is very possible.

1.  Get yourself organized by keeping track of everything and this goes beyond tracking your cover letters, resumes, CVs, and letter of recommendations.  Job hunters should also keep track of their diplomas, certifications, certificates, and any forms of identification.  This will relieve pressure in trying to find items and save time too.

2.  Don't be afraid to take a break while doing your job searching.  Working on finding a job all of the time is boring and dull, and it will drive the job seeker insane.  Find enjoyable things to do such as listening to relaxing music, recreation such as riding a bike, and jogging.

3.  Find out where you stand with a prospective employer by taking the time out to think about correspondences you've received and any other interactions.  Pay attention to body language, tones the interviewer speaks or write. Try to not over think things such as thinking you're in a bad standing with a company when you are not as this creates even more tension and stress. Basically avoid creating drama in your mind over a situation that isn't there.  Stop and think more about the impressions made with a phone interview and if you go through a second round of interviews then that is a good thing as you are in the running for the job.
