From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are about three years ago. Applying to 60 jobs and two interviews, every single day. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. xโ€

  • โ€œI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. Write everything down at work. Dates, times, what was said.โ€

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was where you are in 2022. My LinkedIn says open to work, and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.โ€

  • โ€œI'm not going to pretend it's easy. Losing a job sucks. The ghosting, the silence, the way people look at you. But you're not the only one. I found a training course, met some people. It's small but it's something. Don't stay in the shed too long. And answer at least one message a day. Even if it's just to say you're okay.โ€
