I could've written this post lol. The only time I'm not anxious is when I'm sleeping. The second I wake up, I'm stressing about bills and praying that today will be the day I get a job offer. And it never is.

Oh wow, I am so incredibly sorry! Do you have a support system? I can't imagine what you must be going through.

I pretty sure that's a direct quote from me 😂. I've suffered from anxiety my whole life. Most of the time it's under control. I think the fact that you rarely get any information on your application makes us even more anxious when someone finally reaches out! Plus the fact that there are glitches and errors on half of the websites doesn't help. The other day, I had to spell my name wrong for one place to accept it! It said "enter a valid name"! WTH...😲
Anyway....It would be nice to be able to call or walk in and actually have a conversation with a person instead of filling out the same thing on a website over and over.

Facts. I feel like this is most of us in the workforce! Crazy I don’t know that there is a solution. Especially if you are prone to anxiety.

For sure

It was bad for me when I was searching, I became depressed when I got ghosted and received rejections. I did eventually get out of my rut, the traction I got with interviews definitely gave me a boost. I am now employed and couldn’t be more thankful. Use your good moments as confidence boosters and really focus on those and use that to give you momentum to stay positive

It’s been a huge struggle for me this year. I’ve been looking up techniques, certain breathing exercises, or ways to ground yourself. Helps to have something when it gets to be a lot.

I have a job and still anxious. I feel like it never goes away.

You’re definitely not alone—job hunting is stressful! Take it one step at a time, and remember each application is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

How do I transition from a Senior Executive Assistant role to Project Management? Ideally I would like to work in tech. How should I go about this? I currently work in the Real estate industry so it would be a totally new career path. The reason I want to move into tech is I feel like many of the companies I see have the same values as me (diversity & inclusion) and a good culture is so important to me.
