A pessimistic optimist's job search journey

Week 6 in the program.

One day you feel good, you get to talk to people, you have some good conversations, you feel like someone is finally paying attention to you, recognizing you, giving you a chance.

Then the next day goes silent, noone is following up, or just a template of rejection, you dont know what is wrong with you, you doubt yourself, you don’t know what else you can do.

One day you’re busy and you see life is full of opportunity. The next day you are alone, you see people keep moving on and you are left behind.

It is a rollercoaster, you don’t know when it is going to end, you dont see any light, you can’t imagine how it is going to end. You want to turn away, to walk away, to forget about it. But you’re also afraid if you give up now, you can never get back on, you will always be behind and can’t catch up.
