Four months of searching while still working a full-time job. 200 Easy-Apply submissions. Two recruiter screens that ghosted after the second call. The performance of "I'm doing fine" at every dinner table.
Then the morning when the LinkedIn feed becomes a punishment instead of a resource, when you're supposed to feel inspired by other people's "thrilled to share" announcements but you mostly just feel small.
If that's where you are right now: it isn't a character flaw. It's the cost of running a job search that has no system behind it.
The fix is rarely "try harder." It's usually "stop carrying it alone."
