I sent 4-8 tailored applications every weekend for over 6 months to find my current role. Background is an accredited Bachelors in Engineering with several years experience for context.
It’s a marathon, not a sprint - 2 real leads in 5 apps is incredible.
What you’re asking is how to internalize the reality of living under late stage capitalism. There is no easy answer to be provided here.
Personally, already being in a shit role helped motivate me to keep building my resume, taking on even more projects, and keep hunting.
It makes it even funnier when they see this dedicated incredible profitable hard worker turn in their two weeks out of the blue. Last time I did it, two warehouses had to close because the replacement was not up to par and they lost the account lmfao.
