ell-chan's journey

I recently had my first interview since being laid off three months ago, and unfortunately, I received my first rejection yesterday. It's been a tough journey, sending out over 300 applications and averaging 2 to 5 interviews each week, but I still haven't landed any offers. The silence from many companies is disheartening, as only about half of them have even bothered to respond. I'm feeling pretty demotivated right now, but I know I have to keep pushing forward. It's just a numbers game, and I appreciate the encouragement from others who are in similar situations. Here's hoping for better days ahead.
