Here’s some small perspective for you to kick off this weeks edition.
Ever feel like what you're looking for is always just out of reach when it comes to finding something new?
This weeks inspo came from…
I think it’s important you know this:
Looking for a new job is not a linear process.
There’s no cookie-cutter process to follow.
Over the past few months we've had people go from first interview to placement in as little/long as:
↳ Two interviews in a week - offer.
↳ Eight interviews in two months - offer.
↳ Four interviews in a month - role goes on hold for a month - offer.
Very different starting points and very different finishing lines.
Things takes time, usually multiple processes and a lot of second-guessing as you wait for feedback.
You’re going to have set backs - that’s natural.
Rejection = redirection. Go again.
Stay with it. You'll get your cake one day.
In the meantime, here’s our priority roles for the week 😎
