Jobs are hard to come by these days. One person I know was unemployed for almost two years. Another person is still looking for a job almost three years after he was laid off. Patience and persistence are definitely necessary requirements in order to survive the ups and downs of a job search.
For a Christian, faith is perhaps the most important component in a job search, or any time of trial or uncertainty. 1 Peter 5:7 says to "cast all your anxiety on Him because He care for you." Likewise, in Philippians 4:6, the apostle Paul counsels to "not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
These are the passages of Scripture that I am praying back to the Lord on behalf of E and her job search.
