I have been job searching (currently unemployed) for 5 months now and am emotionally drained from doing on average 6-8 interviews a week now. Made it to the final rounds to a couple but ended up getting ghosted after or was not offered the job. Advice on how to stay positive? I’m not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel atm

That's a lot of interviews to go through every week! Ask a trusted mentor or friend to run through a practice interview with you so you can get a bit of feedback on your final round ones. Do you follow up after the final round?
Job hunting is frustrating and a difficult process at times, but hopefully there's just a minor adjustment for you to make to help you land your next position.
