I’m feeling really frustrated and overwhelmed in my job search. I’m 27 and have been actively looking for a job for the past year, but it seems like no matter how hard I try, I keep getting ghosted or receiving rejection emails. My parents think I’m being lazy, but I assure them that I’m putting in the effort. The job market feels so different now compared to when I graduated, especially after COVID hit. I’m not sure how to communicate my struggles to my family without them thinking I’m not trying hard enough. It’s really taking a toll on my mental health.
