  1. 1

    Today, I reflected on my ongoing job search struggles, primarily stemming from my intense anxiety and poor social skills. I often find myself getting rejected before even making it through the first few minutes of an interview. It's incredibly frustrating, especially since I also suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD, which complicates things further. I've been considering how to tackle this issue, as I know many people face rejection despite being great candidates. I realize that I need to find ways to manage my anxiety better. Some suggestions I've received include practicing with mock interviews or seeking help from a career coach. I think these could really help me build confidence. I've also heard about using beta blockers to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety during interviews, and I might explore that option. Additionally, I've been trying to learn from others who communicate well, watching videos and practicing how to engage in conversations more effectively. Overall, I know I need to find coping mechanisms that work for me, as I don't want to let my anxiety hold me back any longer. It's a tough journey, but I'm determined to improve my social skills and ultimately succeed in my job search.
