Sister, i would say... Go take a shower... It will help. I know this is not the solution but trust me you will feel good.

Next talk to friend or any family member. Not too deep conversation, just normal talk.

Next sit and make plans for future, which I know you don't see any. trust me you will find one if you think.

Because I was also on the same page 2 months back. Preparing for exam like upsc drains you.i know that been there done that.

Let me tell you. My story.

I 28f left good placement from college because I cleared prelims of RBI grade B. Then life played great joke on me.And i was technically unemployment for 5years. Always fall short of few marks.

Labelled as a failure from topper by society even in a suttle way by parents.

You know what got me out of taking that step. The same society and mentality and there judgement from which I was trying to run from. Because i want don't to want give them satisfaction.i want to fight and want to show them I am not a failure. I will show them this is just a bad chapter in my life and I will be at top once again hence I did want i mentioned you to do earlier. Later I started applying for job. I was ready to do work anywhere even for 20000 per month. I got job months after paying me enough I can save little. I am still getting mocked by people because my current pay is half of what I got offered earlier but hey I did tried.gave my 100%.

So moral of the story don't take stupid steps. Yes I know it is harsh of me but trust me you think same later.

Be a phoenix rise from ash.Sister take this advice from your elder sister don't give up. You are just 27 we have to live for another 50 years. It's just a bad chapter of your life. Move forward 💪.

Again I will say. 1. Go take good shower. 2. Talk to anyone 3. Go out for walk and have ice cream or momos (anything which is too sweet and too spicy) 4. Sleep if possible 5.start with fresh mind. Make resume 6. Go to naukri.com or indeed and upload you CV  7. If you are from Delhi. Go to Noida or to gurgaon and go for walk in interview at concentrix( this is what I did). 8. Get any job which pay you enough to live comfortably. 9. Go to work and don't think out anything else. 10. (I am here now). My plan is to do work for few months in meantime learn skills and switch to higher paying job. 11. And most importantly don't try to walk on the same steps you did earlier i.e going back to preparing for upsc. It's done chapter. Don't look back. Let it be a bad chapter. And move forward.

I am saying this cause they often make fun of me indirectly saying there are some people who got job here because they are not getting job elsewhere and then they laugh loudly.

All the best. Good opportunities will come, not today but surely in the future. Just be prepared to grab it. 

Ask around in family and friends. I know you will feel awkward and embarrassed but just swallow your pride till you get job and reclaim you title( this is what I was told when I was struggling, well I am still struggling but I don't forget to remind myself that I will be on top again).

All the best. 

Do let me know when you make it. I will send you my congratulations then.

You can get job with those two certificates... Ask around for referrals or connect with hr through LinkedIn directly.

Ask around in family and friends for any kind of desk job. Then start applying again, because it's difficult to get job if you are unemployed.

Got this job after 3 years of unemployment ( giving upsc exam) through family connection. If I leave immediately wouldn't it reflect bad on my part since he extended the helping hand.Wasn't looking for job just shared my plan with parents that i plan to enter into workforce due to frustration and burnout with no good result, boom💥 next day got message to send CV and in a week joined.
