You feel defeated after not landing a job. Your "goal" after graduating was to get that job. If you feel defeated, focus on these 2 important things: 1) Detach the job search from your worth - You as a whole individual is more important than any job. - You are more than a job title and what you do. - Don't conflate your value with your success or lack of success in landing a job. 2) Create and follow your job search plan. - Set goals for yourself (# of applications or # of hours applying, per week) - Optimize your resume, your cover letter, and your LinkedIn - Apply strategically, with intention, and prepare for interviews It may take longer than it did in the past to get the job (especially the ideal job). So create your plan and stick to it (you will find success soon). If you need additional motivation, say something in the comments so we can support you!

I have been feeling very worthless from not getting full time offers and having to work part time to pay bills while I continue to apply. I've been thinking about quitting, but I just don't feel good about straying from my calling.

In the world of AI and career coaches that write resumes for you. Is it better to have a resume that reflects who you are as an employee, and the work you’ll do? Or have someone else, or something else write it?

Omari! This one resonates. Sometimes, as consultants, this can be even more challenging, and it's often overlooked when people think about this path, but we are always applying for work. It can be so challenging to separate our thoughts and worth from the process. Thank you! I appreciate all you do for our community.

Thanks for sharing and be patient. The jobs are out there. Our bureacracy holds them up!

Omari Richins, MPH In this hustle we often forget who we are. I felt really demotivated when things didn't work out and started questioning my decisions. Every piece of advice highlighted in this post is an encouragement. Thank you!

Great work, Omari. A lot of folks need to hear this message more often, especially self value attachment.
