Applying through open positions is tough. I’ve got a pretty good book, won a few lions and worked at good agencies, but still find it nearly impossible if it’s a job posting. My network/friends and simply reaching out to recruiters works way better. If you don’t hear back - change tactics: make your subject line work harder, your email shorter/longer or dial up the bragging. Or try sending fewer but more personalized ones. Good luck!

Same. But earlier in the process - I haven't gotten interviews yet. Still waiting to hear back on any of the applications I submitted.

Best not to do that. My experience is that I don’t usually hear back but when they have something for me, things move VERY quickly.

^ Yep, just let it go and focus on other activities. Book yourself to see friends after work, do your laundry, call your mom, go to all the office meetings you're invited to.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
