#JobSeekerStruggles #Rejection #MotivationMonday
Hey there, Job Seekers! 🌟
Received 4 job rejections today, back to back. 6 total so far this week and its only Tuesday. At this point, I no longer see the point in living.
I know how tough it can be to face rejection after rejection, but remember, you are not defined by your job search! Here are a few tips to help you stay motivated and keep pushing forward:
– Reach out to your network for support and advice 🤝
– Take some time to reflect on your strengths and accomplishments 🌟
– Consider seeking feedback from the companies that rejected you for areas of improvement 📝
– Stay positive and keep applying – the right opportunity is out there for you! 💼
Remember, rejection is a part of the process, and each “no” is just one step closer to your “yes.” You’ve got this! 💪 #YouGotThis #StayPositive
If you are getting rejected in middle stages or final stages, there’s a silver lining here.
A lot of people are struggling to even get interviews.
Hang around, you just need one to go your way
Your value as a person is not based on your work.
Was in the same boat just a few weeks ago- shitting bricks and contemplating an early exit. Finally landed something with the salary I need. Hoping the same happens for OP. Stay at it!
I am in the same boat! What keeps me sane is just focusing on making it through the day by taking care of my health through exercise and enjoying walks outside and by working on my business plan for a creative side-gig. Nothing but rejections so far in 2024, but I know soon enough I’ll be getting a welcome onboard email soon! We just gotta keep going!
I see so many crappy jobs and contract jobs. Nothing solid.
I’ve been getting some interviews, but rejections… i just got let go from my job 2 weeks ago. Putting me in a slight panic too. so i feel you there.
im sending lots of vibes and hoping that you got a job offer asap. dont give up please OP
Rejection is NOT personal to you.
A maximum of 6 people got positive emails this week from those companies – Hundreds (if not thousands) of people got the exact same emails you got.
This is NOT a reflection of who you are as a person, or what you can offer these companies, it’s a reflection of a wider issue that is pretty much global. It is easier than ever to apply for a role, and because of that, more people are getting rejections.
Less than 10 years ago I was working in retail management, when it came to hiring seasonal staff at Christmas I had to hire about 50-60% of the applicants – we couldn’t accept candidates online, we had limited social media access as a branch and I needed to hire 15 people to work part-time hours.
Now I am interviewing with managers who candidly let me know they had over 500 applications for a single role… the job market is shit, but that’s not a reason to do anything rash.
Please don’t kill yourself. It’s not you, it’s the job market right now. You have a lot more value than you think.
I receive those daily, got used to it. Got rejected after a few final rounds too. Just have to keep going even though it’s exhausting. You can do it!
I got even more rejections today and this week. It’s been an ongoing thing for the last 3+ months. My partner has started giving me the cold shoulder and treats me like I’m a L.
But still I have to tell myself that all I need is one job. I’ll keep at it. And my friend you need to keep at it too.
This too shall pass.
Been there. Tried for 5 years trying to find something better. Last week I finally got a call. Huge improvement to pay. It happens and it will happen to you. Don’t let it discourage you. You got this.
I feel your pain! Some of my rejections didn’t hurt but, too many in a week were rough. Even getting rejections from jobs that I really had no shot at.
I would feel better when I would apply for more and I don’t know why because ultimately leads to more rejections.
Tried to go to the gym to help lift my spirits and spend time with family or doing stuff around the house. Sometimes I just went to bed early to sleep through the bad feelings.
It really is tough out there and I hope these posts help some.
Bruh rookie numbers. Be unemployed for 1 year and when you get multiple job offers, let your parents choose the abroad one 😉
You want to die for those morons ? Beware ! This is what I suffer from the last 30 years and I am still applying. Today got a rejection after a former acceptance. This is life. Let the next firm pay for all your mess and the next, too !
Hey. This happened to me too. I took a mental break for a week and just watched some shows, read some books, got coffee in town to just decompress and find motivation again.
You’ve got this!
It happens to the best of us. Do remember: There are more important things in life than a job.
Any there any valuable insights made from these apps?
If you’d like some guidance (my background is in recruiting/career coaching), you can message me.
That sucks . Sorry
Haha you
Beat me, I got 3.
I got 4 hours on Sunday
Take a break and give yourself some room. When you’re ready return.
I know it’s probably easy to say but don’t get disheartened. Look at the positives. You had 6 places that gave interview opportunities that means you resume is good and your skills are desirable. Your turn will come.
My favorite are the auto-rejections that come back less than 5 min after applying.
Stay another day. I was there not too long ago, and I finally got one offer. One offer out of an insane amount of applications! It took a lot of mental strength that I could only muster a little bit at a time, a step at a time, a day at a time.
It sucks so so bad, but stay another day. It can’t get better if you don’t.
Yeh unfortunately I understand how that feels
What helped me a lot OP was to archive these emails.
Also seriously don’t take them personally. I think you may need a break from applying.
This job market is insane. I saw a post on indeed for a perfume sales job, looked up the actual company website they are not hiring. I have been applying since January… my work ethic is hard to match and I am still getting rejections. I’m in the same boat but let’s live for another day
Sending you a big virtual hug. As I sit here and bash my head off the wall with a similar disbelief, we have to believe this ridiculous job market has some sort of end in sight…. Please know you are not alone.
Those days are rough, but tomorrow might bring an acceptance.
Rejections from applications, or interviews? No one seems to send rejections from applications. Don’t think I received one from the last 20 or so applications. At least you’re hearing back in some capacity?
