Three months? Try a year and a half! Been employed for a year now, but man, did it hurt. You can do it. Just strap in and develop thick skin.

I’m so sorry and realize it’s tough out there. That said, respectfully, 3 months is nothing, so I’d focus on having structured weeks, building in networking, applying to jobs and exercise, and settling in for a long stretch. It’s taking many people 6 months + to find fill-time work so I’d be pleased if I were you that you got the interviews you did and just soldier on. Something will budge but it takes time.

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads.

I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia
