Feeling Defeated in Your Job Search? You’re Not Alone — A Real Client Story
It is always great to read about a real-life success case study, especially in today’s market when all I hear is:
I have been ghosted
I am very qualified for this role, and I never heard from anyone
I applied over 2 months ago and heard nothing
I had a great first interview but nothing afterwards
I don’t feel seen
This is worthless
Ect……………………………………………………………………………..
Guess what? Real life is hard! At times it sucks! And other times, WHOOO HOOO!
This real-life thought from a client of mine warranted a share. Unfortunately, a lot of you will resonate.
My client had a resume. He had an education, a good, PhD education. He was doing all he could and still felt it wasn’t enough. We met, we worked together, and we are still working together.
He emailed me,
“I give up. I didn’t get the job I was hoping for that I had interviewed for over 2 months ago. I am never going to get a job! My belief in myself is underwhelmed and I am done!”
Sound familiar? Unfortunately, the story is real. The thought process is real. The idea that after so many months you are still not getting the interviews, or the feedback, or the offer you were hoping for never came, is just a bit too much for most. It would be for me.
Not everything is always going to be great. I share this because I want you all to know, EVERYONE, yes, Recruiters, Talent Acquisitions Specialist, Hiring Managers, and especially CEO’s and Owners. People are feeling bad about themselves. They don’t trust themselves, they feel defeated and mostly at a loss on what to do about this market.
Me too!!
What do you do about it? Buckle up! This ride is not over yet and we still have a lot of work to do.
