Been looking for a job now since last summer.

Had to turn down a dream role due to COVID. Interviewing during COVID has been hell. Just rejection after rejection. Should I just slow down? My current job is stagnant, but it at least offers stability and is pretty easy to do.

Work at your own pace, but it doesn’t sound like you need to slow down and settle for your current gig if it’s not fulfilling.

Interviewing during COVID is tricky, that’s a fact. And for what it’s worth, rejection is awful, but it’s in no way an indictment on you or your abilities.

If you ever need a resume redesign for your job search, I’d be happy to help.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Has anyone else noticed they’re stressed without “feeling” stressed? I don’t feel as stressed as when I was in college.
