I got my current role by rage applying and it’s weirdly great but still whenever I get mad at it, I either update my resume (I’m only able to boast about my work when I’m mad at my job!) or randomly apply to roles - it gives you a task to focus on and it could end up changing your life for the better.

Despite having a solid ass job on paper with good pay, benefits, team, culture, etc etc I'm so over it/my employer after almost 4 years and am just applying to whatever and fantasizing a life where I'm doing something different
And who knows maybe something will work out!

A YouTube photographer, Madison Beach, once set herself the goal of getting 50 or 100 rejections from her photo submissions in one year.
Try thinking of applying for jobs the same way. Look at every application or interview as a step toward a goal in and of itself. Even the most qualified person is going to apply to dozens of jobs before getting a position. Each application represents another step on that path. Every interview makes you more prepared for the next.
I’ve also heard the advice that you should want to uncomfortable in any new job because that means you are challenging yourself and giving yourself the opportunity to learn and get better.
This is easy for me to say, harder for someone to follow!

Also look for tips on résumés and online applications to try to increase your odds. It’s completely normal to have to send out hundreds of resumes in order to get your foot in the door!

Upper East Side. He shouted “I thought it was a Tuesday” on a Wednesday into a flip phone in the early 2000s. He sounded just like he does in the movies 💕

This is annoying advice but love has always come to me when I’m not looking for it. When I get very active in things I’m passionate about (usually leftie organizing but also art and history stuff and also just spending time with friends a la the friends of friends rec) I meet new people and find interesting, aligned folks.

1. Box breathing, but let the exhale be a few seconds longer
2. Get a massage
3. Acupuncture
4. Reading
5. Warm bath or shower
6. Be silly in bed with someone you love
7. Be silly anywhere with someone you love
8. Get a little high and clean
9. Lay in bed but listen to a podcast or the radio - maybe where you live has a cool station or a random quirky one?
Finally, if you need to relax it’s okay to just sit in bed! Rest is not rot!
