I finally got that call after my last interview and they offered me the job. After weeks of waiting, second guessing, and wondering if anything would actually come from it, hearing yes felt unreal. It reminded me how important it is to stay positive even when the search feels endless and discouraging. All the interviews and applications add up eventually. If you are still looking, keep going because you never know when that call is coming. What kept you motivated during your own job hunt?

I am hoping I get that call to be offered my next job!!! I’m still a step behind you - waiting to schedule my full interview! But I’m totally second guessing myself all the time… I don’t know how to stay motivated aside from just to keep on going….

That was the worst part of the job search process, the nervousness, doubt and second guessing. I stay motivated any time I get any traction and do my best to stay hopeful if something doesn’t work out, I sing there may be another opportunity around the corner

Congratulations! How long have you been job hunting for? That anxious period of waiting after an interview is so stressful. I keep myself motivated purely out of desperation. Job hunting is hard, but having nowhere to live would be even more difficult.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
