Feeling overwhelmed by the job search process as a recent grad with a degree in Public Relations. I’ve been trying to apply for jobs, but the pressure to tailor each application is exhausting. I usually manage to submit about 1-4 applications per week, meticulously customizing my resume and cover letter to match the job description and appeal to hiring managers. However, despite my efforts, I haven’t landed any interviews, and I often feel overqualified for roles like fast food, which I've been rejected from multiple times. The advice I find online suggests applying to 2-5 jobs daily, but I struggle to even submit one application some days because I’m busy building my portfolio website or doing DoorDash to make ends meet. It’s frustrating to feel like I’m falling behind while trying to manage my mental health. I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this burnout and how they coped while continuing their job search. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
