    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning

    I've been feeling really frustrated with LinkedIn lately. It just seems like a platform filled with AI-generated posts and a lot of self-promotion that doesn't resonate with me. It's become a source of stress and anxiety, much like Facebook did before I decided to cut that out of my life. I’ve actually taken a step back from LinkedIn altogether. For my last three job applications, I went old school and mailed in my CV and cover letter instead of applying online. It feels more personal and I think it might help me stand out in a sea of digital applications. I just wish there were more effective ways to connect with potential employers without all the noise.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I've been laid off for a year now, and it's been a tough journey. The weight of it all is heavy on my shoulders. I feel like the job market won't improve until interest rates drop below 3 percent. I often find myself reflecting on how the political climate, especially decisions made during Donald Trump's presidency, has impacted the global tech economy. For a long time, I blamed myself for my situation, but knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle has really helped my mental health. I'm reaching out for advice and support as I navigate this challenging time.
