Within the last month, I’ve had 3 interviews that I wasn’t selected for, 4 positions that were outright canceled, 10 that are still pending review for possible interviews, and countless ones that didn’t even consider me. I’m so beat down that I’m really thinking of withdrawing from an interview I have on Friday, just because I have no hope and no enthusiasm. It’s mentally and emotionally draining to the point that it’s physically exhausted me.
I have a decent job currently, not the most competitive salary by any means. But when I compare myself to my peers I feel like I could be earning more or put myself in a better position. For some reason it’s not working out for me and the universe has deemed me unlucky to progress further. I feel like an asshole for continuing to try.
