Searching for a job is—how should I put this—not always the most pleasant experience. Especially if you’ve been at it for a while, the whole process can feel discouraging, disappointing, and like you’re drowning in a deep sea of negativity. And rather than send out yet another resume, it seems easier (and more fun) to gripe about how unfair the process can be. (And, trust me, I hear you. It’s definitely not a flawless process.)
But, as you probably already know, none of this is particularly helpful in landing a job.
As a career counselor, I actually see this happening all the time—particularly for job seekers who have had a rougher experience. With my most disheartened clients, conversations always start with frustration and slowly wind down to desperation.
