I’m currently in the thick of job hunting, and I have to say, it really feels like a full-time job. Anyone else feel the same way? I thought I’d share my experience and see if others can relate or offer some advice.
Every day, I wake up early, make my coffee, and sit down at my computer to start the job search. I spend hours scrolling through job boards, tweaking my resume, writing cover letters, and filling out applications. It’s incredibly time-consuming and can be pretty disheartening, especially when you don’t hear back at all for months. I’ve come to this conclusion that this whole job searching is more stressful than a full time job. This is a lonely flight and the worst part- there’s zero pay, only a hope for a better tomorrow.
So, I’m curious, how do you all manage the job hunting process? How do you handle the emotional ups and downs on an almost daily basis?
It’s tough man. Been through that phase. It’s the lowest low that I don’t hope for even for my worst enemy. I used to feel embarrassed speaking to my friends and family while I was unemployed, because I dint want to tell them I was doing nothing, when in reality like you said the grind to get a job is crazier than the actual work on the job. Just one advice, don’t cut off your friends and family like I did (I regret it looking back). It’s okay to fall on them for support. Just keep trying though best, and you’ll find a job soon. Will pray for you bro 🫂
Ditto. Copy paste.
Yes it is.
I hear you.
I'M SOOOO TIRED OF THE WHOLE JOB SEARCH PROCESS NOW!
I no longer have any hope left in me!
The whole job search process itself is sooooo longggggggg.
It's been so difficult these days.
All I want to do is get out of the rut I'm in.
Upskilling, working, interviewing, applying, cooking food, working out etc is sooo draining. Some days, I just want to sleep.
I don't know how you all...
People who are in a job and searching for new one, how do you make time for all the work needed for job hunting??? I think I'm going to have to sacrifice sleep and personal time to study/make all the stuff required
Saw this post today & although i appreciate the guys' perseverance, is it really worth it to spend THIS long for another job? I mean i am unemployed for 7 months now & I'm thinking about expanding my search for similar opportunities(PMM,...
