since leaving his job a month ago, but to no avail.
“I know I am dumb to do it. Since then, I have been applying for jobs daily, improving my resume. I think nearly 300 to 400 applications,” he added.“At the start, I went for three interviews, but there was no offer. As for now, no calls or interviews are offered. I saw jobs I applied for or interviewed for getting reposted on the job posting page.”He added how the experience is affecting him. “I feel demoralized, and exhausted and tired scrolling through all the job ads.
“Job markets are brutal right now. lost track of how many applications and interviews I went for. I ended up getting an offer from a place I ranked as my last option,” one shared. Still, a third shared some practical financial advice: “Try to limit your spending during this interim period, and keep a lookout for all types of roles , government sector, start-ups, etc.”
