Just took a new approach and emailed the recruiter after a phone screening and just said “I know the salary is low, I know I’m overqualified and you’re probably like “no way she’s seriously interested” but I am.” 😂😂 maybe it’ll be seen as desperate but I am. Over a year unemployed and I’m just over the “we’ve decided on other candidates” emails.

Keep going - that’s the hardest part of tricking your mind into thinking but it’s worth it. I went 8 months without a job and it was literally just telling myself things that were positive and keep ALL negative thoughts out of your head. You will make it and grow in the end! Good luck

Good luck. I think the challenge really is, employers know folks taking lower salaries are at high risk of leaving when the market returns. So if desperation is your play I think addressing that point should be included.

like

Yeah, but employers are also OFFERING below market salaries…so they should expect anyone they hire to jump ship at the first sign of higher wages elsewhere.

Preparing for my final round case interview and I’ve realized that whereas prior to the first round I was pretty comfortable with casing, now I’m less and less so since I’m increasingly anxious that I could not come up with the right buckets. I’m also doing more untraditional cases at times which makes me feel like I’m not performing that well. Has anyone experienced similar things? How did you cope with it/What’s your advice? Many thanks in advance since I’m now a ball of stress 😩😩
