Conducting a job search can get draining; but there are a few things you can do to recharge your job search and increase your enthusiasm.

1.    Get in touch with the things that make you passionate about law, especially your practice area.  Think about the work and volunteer experiences you have had in the past that reflect your enthusiasm for law in general and your practice area in particular.  Document those experiences and be prepared to share them with potential employers in your cover letter and/or interview or in conversations at networking events.

2.    Get educated on your legal practice area.  Begin reading the publications with interesting articles about your practice area.  Those articles can be a great conversation starter at network meetings as you continue your job search.  Also, being able to discuss current affairs related to your practice area shows that you have interest and enthusiasm about that area of law.

3.    Get involved by volunteering with professional associations and/or publishing an article in a relevant professional journal.  Also consider putting your legal skills to work at nonprofit organizations and highlighting your involvement on you resume or in an interview.
