In the past, I've been blessed to have had jobs offered to me, with very little effort on my behalf in finding them. Having given in notice at my job, I am faced for the first time with the difficult task of applying for jobs and facing rejection.
Benefits:
- having been actively recruited in the past, I have higher confidence that people will want to hire me
- I have great work experience and excellent references
Challenges:
- I have little to no interview experience
- I don't really know how to "brag subtly" about myself, or advertise myself as a desirable candidate
Mostly so far I have struggled to find posted positions that I would love, and even after applying I have been rejected (for lacking male genitalia, and for various unknown reasons) and have only actually gotten one interview. I keep trying not to get my hopes up too high, but with each application, I picture myself in the job, and some of them I would really love.
Anyhow, at this point I just have to wait and keep putting myself out there. I am certain that something great will work out. God is faithful.
