I recently received the news that I didn't get the Business Analyst role I interviewed for. The panel mentioned it was a tough decision, and I felt I performed well during the interview, so it was disheartening to hear I narrowly missed out. This was just another in a long line of unsuccessful outcomes, and with almost a year of unemployment behind me, I'm starting to lose hope. Each rejection feels like a blow to my self-worth, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay positive. I'm really struggling with my mental health through this process. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced this prolonged period of job searching and how they've managed to cope with the constant setbacks.
