Hello! Long story short, my partner and I just split and I’m having a really rough time. I graduated with my M.Ed. in Dec and have been applying for 100s of jobs but haven’t had a single interview. Moving out of his place this week and am desperate for any advice, words of encouragement. He’s a SM for Deloitte and his reason for ending things were that I was “not enough for him” and not ambitious. Feeling defeated but trying to find my way through. 😔Would anyone be willing to chop up my resume?
