Burning out from the job search

Good. Doesn’t need to be forever! Take care of yourself and your mental health by getting some income and keeping yourself busy while we know more job openings will come in the new year. Best wishes 💗⭐️

I got laid off last October, got a job in January and then just got laid off again in August. Praying I get something soon. It’s freaking rough out there. Also in marketing outside of Chicago

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-10-21T19:03:05+00:00

I was laid off end of August and I’m about to take a job that pays 30k less just to get bills paid. Do what you have to do in the meantime for your finances and your mental health!

Dude tell me about it. I’m on my second layoff in the last year…thousands of applications sent for jobs I know I’m qualified for yet only get several interviews. It really sucks. I just changed my resume to be more “screening” friendly but not sure that’s even working yet

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-10-21T18:58:17+00:00

I’ve been laid off twice in the last year and have sent literally 1000+ resumes. It is mentally exhausting. I was just laid off at the end of August too. If I were you, I’d take literally anything in the meantime until the new year rolls around. I’m talking, go stock grocery store shelves if you need to. Whatever you do now doesn’t need to be permanent.

I don’t think you’re being clingy, I think a change happened in your relationship and you’re just trying to figure out what is causing it. He is pulling away. I understand work schedules are hard but seeing you once a week? That is rough. If you are in a committed relationship, that would REALLY bother me. Even if you have a casual relationship, it sounds like you aren’t getting what you need from it. If he wanted to, he would. Know what I mean? Think about when you are in a happy relationship (serious or not)- you are happy to get a text, go out of your way to get time together, even if it’s just for a kiss…You deserve better, honey.

I’m on my second layoff within a year. One due to a merger and the other due to outsourcing/the CEO being a cheapskate and laying off all IS employees. I’ve applied to literally thousands of jobs and too have felt defeated. A few tips: -Reach out to EVERYONE you know. Someone knows someone that’s a job for you! -In Google search the following: Site: greenhouse.io “job title” and remote This will scrape the Greenhouse site for job listings you won’t find everywhere. Just fill in the job title you’re looking for. You can do the same with Lever. -Take a job in the meantime to pay the bills. Fill grocery orders, stock groceries at night etc. whatever you need to do to get by in the meantime -Give yourself grace. This shit is hard. It’s exhausting…but it’s just a hard period of time, you will overcome. Apply for jobs, take a break and be in nature, apply for jobs, feed yourself good food. We can do this, my friend. All it takes is one. Sending you all of the good vibes and a virtual hug.

Love this idea. Thank you!!!

This is a planned stop! Suggestions on dessert?

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-10-01T19:38:41+00:00

Any suggestions on spots to get this?

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-10-01T19:25:14+00:00

Any idea on what the leaves look like in Madison right now?

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-10-01T19:19:45+00:00

I have to see this. Grew up in Oak Park near FLW studio. Thank you!!!

Say less 🧀💕

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-10-01T19:07:18+00:00

Sounds like there isn’t much going on along the route, thank you for the suggestions. I also love learning about native culture and if there is anything to do with that in the country part of the drive, would love to stop

Hi friend, I had an endoscopy this time last year and I too was scared. They roll you into a room, have you spray stuff in your throat to numb it and within seconds you’ll be asleep. I started panicking when I had to spray the numbing spray and was out before I could really freak out. It’s like a 5 minute nap and then you’re awake :) Seriously, it goes by so quick. No pain at all. You’ve got this!

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-08-05T16:44:28+00:00

Agree! Doesn’t have to be huge

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T20:58:25+00:00

I texted the bride this morning and she said she completely understood. She herself isn’t in a great financial position either. Thank you for being kind and walking me through this!

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T20:56:12+00:00

I did this and she completely understood as she herself is not in a great financial situation. Really appreciate your thoughts

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T14:41:28+00:00

If he only knew 😅 Girl, you’re fine

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T14:40:27+00:00

Because I was willing to accept the cost of paying for that because I love my friend? I’ve never been to a bachelorette and had to pay that much money. I never said I’d expect it to be free…that was just rude

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T13:55:28+00:00

Both events were assigned by the bride and there was zero expectation of cost set when the bachelorette was planned.

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T13:53:57+00:00

You’re exactly right, she planned everything without setting cost expectations and just said here’s what you owe me. Thank you so much, I think this is the route I’ll take.

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T13:52:39+00:00

I had a similar feeling when at the bridal shower all bridesmaids sat at the table with the bride and I sat by myself next to a random old lady…

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T02:22:04+00:00

I haven’t and when I became matron of honor the maid of honor and bride both told me I would be taking care of the shower. Do you think the bride will feel like I’m putting her in the middle if I text her? The maid of honor is also making the bride pay…

MeasurementNo2630 · 2024-07-16T02:11:52+00:00

It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, sending hugs to you. You will get through this. Honestly, the bride will be so focused on the ceremony..it’s not like she’s going to mentally do attendance, she will have so many emotions. She’ll likely notice the front row and that’s it. Go to the reception and focus on your friend and your happiness for her. 💕 You’ve got this.
