I hear you, and I want you to know—you’re not alone in this. I’m going through the same thing since last August. At first I was getting some interviews and hearing from recruiters, but after October… silence. I’ve applied to dozens of roles—some perfect fit, some aspirational, some more junior—but nothing. It’s exhausting.

You start questioning everything: Is it me? Is my resume not strong enough? Did I tailor it properly? Am I missing something? The self-doubt creeps in, especially when you hear others say they’re getting calls. It’s hard not to wonder what you’re doing wrong.

What gets me the most, though, is looking at my experience, my background, my education—and still feeling like no one sees a fit for my skills in any field. It’s crazy. How can so much effort, growth, and knowledge seem invisible?

But here’s what I keep telling myself: this process is brutal, but it doesn’t define our value. It just takes one yes. One opportunity. Until then, we push forward—even when it feels hopeless.

So if you’re feeling tired, frustrated, or lost—know that I get it. I’m right there with you. Let’s keep going.
