🗓️ December 13th marks Month 7 of #JourneyInUnemploymentLand, and this will be the last post until February.
I don't have it in me to use my emojis as a segway between my thoughts. Today, y'all will get good ole-fashioned DICTION. Why do I feel this way? Well, I spent the past two weeks going through a very long, tedious, and altogether exhausting interview process to be told no. I asked for feedback, only to be told it was their policy not to give personalized feedback to individual candidates. So... that was a waste of everyone's time.
To say this sort of thing is devastating would be an understatement. I cannot emphasize enough how frustrated, stressed, overwhelmed, and generally depressed I've been during this season of joblessness.
If you know me (and many of you know me personally), then you know that I'm not a pessimistic person. Cynical, maybe. A glass-half-full type of woman? Never. However, I'm tapped out. My reserves are depleted, and I need to fill my cup again.
I'm taking my friend's advice: I won't be job hunting for at least two weeks. This series? I won't be back until after my 3rd wedding anniversary in January. I want to spend the holidays with my family and friends. They need me healthy, and... right now, what I've been doing isn't healthy.
My email inbox is still open. My phone is still on. But right now? LinkedIn isn't going to be my priority.
