I work as a recruitment consultant which can be very de-motivating at times... people not turning up for interviews, turning down jobs etc. I've had an absolutely nightmarish couple of months when every single once of my applicants has turned down job offers for various reasons. So needless to say I'm now feeling pretty de-motivated and exhausted that all the work I've put in recently has amounted to nothing.
Do you have any good tips on how to get motivated at work?

Book a summer holiday, tell yourself every day that you are working to pay for a fabulous time!
I even draw a picture of myself lying next to the pool in the brochure - it helps me get through the first half of the year.

The only thing I can say is MONEY!
As long as it pays the bills then that's motivation for me!
As long as you know your doing the best at your job then that should be good.
Keep you head up too. You said couple of months, I'm not sure how long you've been there but it couldn't have been this bad the whole time. Just know things will get better as the always do. It's life baby, it has to have ups and downs. It just sucks because this just happens to be one of the down times.
Keep high spirits and Good luck!

human beings are purpose driven; they are only happy when they are moving toward a purpose. So, start every day with a list of what you have to do. If something new comes up, add it to the list. Write it down. Then circle the most important one and that becomes your top task. Then, discipline yourself to start on that task right away. You don't need to check your e-mail every five minutes—stay focused on that task. It takes great discipline, but you've already decided that this is the most important task you have today, so everything else is a relative waste of time. Finish it.

Music is one of the the best motivator. Keep a few music at work that you feel motivated when you hear them. Listen to them when you are least motivated.
Caffeine is another motivator. Drink some coffee and tea to lift you up.
Laughter is another good one. Go to a quiet room and laugh as much as you can. After that, you will find yourself filled with energy to do all things.

Fine,many people nowdays get these sort of things. But your problem can be solved easily. You just look what the heck is making you de-motivating. You've mentioned that your work were not making in your way. Just try to make it up in your way. It will be hard but don't loose your hope.
You have many option to do your work successfully, by giving offers to your clients on net so that you can get more peoples to your job. You can give some attractive offers for them. There are a lot of ways to make things in your way. So cheer up buddy!

Perhaps you are sending the wrong candidates for these jobs. After all, no-one would turn down their dream job! Instead of trying to make money by sending just anyone to any interview, try being honest. Tell employers that you don't have suitable candidates and tell candidates that they don't have to go for just any old job!
If you start being more honest with others and with yourself, you may attract better karma. - You are the only one who can break this cycle.

WHERE ARE YOU HIRING?!??! IF YOURE CLOSE ILL WORK THERE!!! LOL
make up for it when you get off by doing something for yourself, like getting a massage, going out with friends/ a date, shopping, going on yahoo answers...youll feel a lot better...and buy a stress ball and a water fountain thing for work if you can. the sound helps relieve stress. or if it doesnt the water is fun to play in
