Trying to find confidence in the world of job seeking today. Iv been trying to find a job after being laid off for 9 months now. Invested 16 years with a company and now Im trying to figure out how to find myself again. Its been the most challenging time of my life.. so much talent and all Im getting is rejections and no responses after 1-2 interviews. Any advice or encouragement out there?

This job market is so tough right now! Try not to take it personally.

I think you are onto something when you say you’re trying to find yourself. You were at the last place for so long. Now you have to learn who you are outside of it. Try to think of it as exciting.

I know it’s scary, but it sounds like you are very persistent, and that is going to get you where you need to be.

Good luck!

I’m so sorry you’re in the situation. The job market is a beast right now. You might try expanding your search outside the world of sales maybe customer service? Just to find something to get you by. Good luck hopefully something comes your way soon.

OP, how’s it going?

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
