I’ve been sending in applications for jobs but have been getting rejected or just left in limbo. I’m getting really frustrated and honestly worn down. Advice on how to persevere when all you’re getting are doors shut in your face?

You aren’t alone. I am applying and either getting rejected or hearing nothing back. I’m focusing a lot on myself, and if I’m doing everything I can with my applications and just trying to tell myself this job market needs a lot of patience.

The process of job searching and applying just seems like it's built to be frustrating. It is honestly difficult to stay motivated, but you have to just keep plugging away to get anywhere. When I was applying and feeling stuck in limbo I'd try to distract myself with something I enjoyed just to clear my mind. And the next day I'd be able to get myself motivated enough to get back to it. It's so frustrating, but the key to it all is persistence.

I always turn to staffing agencies. Some are not so good but I found a great recruiter last week who knew her client's need and also knew how to present me in the most advantageous light to make the client want to interview me. She knew how to work the magic. Yesterday was the interview, it went great and an 1/2 hour after it was over, I was offered the job. So, present yourself to the recruiter as a goldmine and that they should acknowledge your value for the client. To present you in the right way to the client is the key to getting the job. Stress your assets, your lasting value and necessitate every possible reason why they should show their client(s) how great you are. Your soft skills are as important as your skillset in your profession. The client needs you more than you need them but with them knowing a fantastic applicant to available, should generate an offer.

Congratulations on the new job!
May I ask who the staffing agency was that helped you and the contact person was? I’ve been out of a job for 2 years and nothing, ugh! TIA.

I am also getting frustrated and worn out. I have applied to so many jobs, attended one interview which I felt I really did my best but unfortunately was not selected for the job. I really need encouragement.

I have also been out of employment for 5 months now, In the month of July, I was invited for an interview which I did well and had great hopes of being hired but unfortunately I was'nt selected. I became depressed and felt like the world had come to an end for me but later on I gained strength to continue this journey of searching for a job, I have also been manifesting on the job hoping that the right door will open. Just be patient, your job is on the way.

I hear you — job searching can feel really draining, especially when it’s rejection after rejection or complete silence. Please know it’s not a reflection of your worth or abilities. Sometimes the process just takes longer than we hope. Don’t lose heart — the right door will open, and all these ‘no’s’ are just stepping stones toward the right ‘yes.’ I’m rooting for you.

She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
