So when job hunting I drop all completed applications into a mental trash can, and start working on the next one.
If I get an interview, I prep, get hyped, then immediately after the interview, back in that trash can.
I play games, read, craft and create to avoid obsession as well, but the mental trash can is really important to me, because most applications won't make it past the screeners. And that is OK! You wouldn't want to go from pan to fire, after all, you're looking for something better for you. So- every role you don't get is a dodged bullet. There was something that wasn't a great fit, cool, there are SO MANY opportunities out there, you can find your next best role.
Do you have accommodations in place?
