As I was in the process of creating and opening my own business (Vantage Career Solutions), I kept-up on the job search with the hopes of finding the next career of my professional life (well, at least for six-months or so). I had no idea that this 'job search' would drag-on for over 8-months now. It was time to bring out the heavy artillery and head into battle.
Armed with an impressive cover letter, resume and great references, I set out on my job seeking journey. This journey has been, let's see how shall we say, a true nightmare from hell! In the past 8-months I have sent out hundreds of resumes and filled out about the same number of online applications. Though I have had some great interviews, it has all resulted in the same thing: "Thanks, but no thanks". I started to question what it was about me they didn't like. I came to the harsh reality that searching for a new career is exhausting and it takes its toll on you and your entire life.
Next: You can hear 'No' only so many times...
