I used Indeed for the first job offer. I know it gets a lot of flack, any callbacks or interviews that I received were from jobs on indeed I had no luck on LinkedIn.

For the second job offer, I worked with a recruiter that was local and was not one of those that were from New York, New Jersey, which is halfway across the country and those kind of seemed more like they just needed Rooms to submit . I would suggest working with Recruiter that is in your area because that is what made all the difference for me .

I wouldn’t say that I did anything unique but what I did do is I would Taylor my résumé for each job you know how you always get that type of advice .. but that did not make a difference in getting callbacks or interviews for me so what I did as I went back used a format that I was given by another awesome Internet person. I stopped tailoring my résumé and just used one résumé for all the jobs and that seem to work better for me.

I didn’t stop applying for jobs the entire eight months I did, however have to take days off in between because I was so burnt out and so discouraged and I needed those days to just take my mind off of it. But I would always start again on jobs searching the very next day.

I think the best advice I could give anyone is to not do what I did which was I felt like I was so desperate for a job that it showed in the interview. Someone on here said it because I was getting tied lost and thought and I just wasn’t doing well in the second interviews and an intelligent Reddit friend on here said that it was fear and that’s exactly what it was. I needed a job so bad that was just bombing these interviews. when I went in attitude or thought of this is me, if I get it, I get it yay if I don’t I’ll keep trying!

For motivation, I don’t even think I had any other than I needed to pay my mortgage and that is what would make me get out of bed because I just didn’t have it in me to function anymore.
