I make sure to get away from the engineering specifics at least once a week and do something enjoyable or creative. I resume my former hobbies, which I abandoned when work took up most of my hours. I really advise you to try this since it keeps me sane.

I journal every single day. It helps me to get all my creative thoughts out on paper. I also really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes.

I'm getting into embroidery and I love it!

I try to dive back into my old routines and hobbies, preferably the ones farthest from my work. I consume more media content on my off days so I can get my creatiive juices flowing and inspired, Basically, I do anything that can keep my hands busy.

I like movies. I watch movies and get inspiration to try out new things. I am most fascinated with people's different cultures and the art I see in movies.

I was told I was the top candidate for a role after final rounds, but the role was impacted by the hiring freeze.

I saw a posting recently for another role that would be a good fit - should I reach out to the recruiter if I plan on applying?
