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!

Looking for a job is like a job in itself. There is the looking, there is the applying. there is the cover letter, there is the waiting. Then they make interviews extra-long and worse, in phases/tests - making you jump through hoops. If you see a job posting on linkedin for eg, click on the job poster, and email them directly. I start by saying "I saw an ad but don't fit all the boxes." Send them a quick descriptor and then attach my CV. Some do respond.

I found my job from asking someone I know! I was unemployed for a little over a year. Looking for jobs is brutal. I got a few interviews through Indeed but my current job was one I got through going to my dentist and asking if they needed help. I’m wishing you luck in your search!

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!

The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
