โReading 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
โTo anyone just starting this: it's going to feel personal, and it is, but it's not always about you. The right thing will come. I've been ghosted after final rounds and it stings, but you pick yourself up. Talk to someone. Take a walk. Keep applying. It's a numbers game, and you're not useless. You have skills. I'm still figuring it out, but I know I'll get there.โ
โNot sure if this helps, but please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Talk to your union if you have one, they were brilliant for me. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โI'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
