I have been unemployed for over a yearish and I am still very picky for my job search, but should I change preference or even switch to a new field?
In the first few months, I have done countless interviews and a few assignments just to get rejected after reaching to the final stage, so that really got me soo pissed off that I ended up just casually applying jobs and refuse to do assignments onward – not spending a day doing assignment just to get rejected. Then I met my ex and we dated almost a year, which I consider myself funemployed during our time together since I was traveling, eating out and spending a lot of time with her.
But now that we broke up last month, I want to desperately get back into the market. I am always able to get on average 1-2 interviews (a week) but the field I do is mad competitive, which require 4-6 interviews to get hired and I have only made it to final a handful of time. The reason why I am getting so much interview is because I mass apply. I probably applied close to 10k jobs in the past year and I also count second/third interview as an interview since I do need to put in the time and research on it so that’s why I average 1-2 interviews a week. I do sales tech, so I might even need to do a presentation or a pitch.
I made it to final interview for this start up tech company and I have to do a pitch for next week, so I am kind of meh and doubting myself again. Nice that they only have 3 interviews for this job.
I am also talking to this other company, which I just finish my 3rd interview, but they say they might have 4 or 5 interviews so not confirmed yet and also don’t know if I advanced to the next round since I felt like I didn’t do so good since I was having a little technical issues in our call.
I have done sales for about 10 years so I have accumulated some wealth, so I am not like urgently looking for a role because I need to bring food to table or something but I desperately want to fill in my resume gap because recruiters are starting to ask that and it’s getting awkward. And I am afraid I will be depressed doing nothing but so far I think I am fine since I run, hoop, and go to the gym. I also spend a lot of time playing video games, and that’s pretty much how I cope it.
I just got back from a vacation last month and will be traveling again in early November, so this is the reason why I prefer remote role and that’s what I meant me being picky. Both jobs are remote.
Just wanted to rant and let yall know that you are not alone. I am unemployed for over a year! And I applied close to 10k jobs (possibly more).
