[quote=Anonymous]^^ okay, that's not helpful.

I get it, OP. Can you feel confidence in the fact that you made it beyond the recruiter, and build on that?

Also, I too recently looked at the people who "liked" a certain role that was posted. I quickly determined that they weren't qualified for the job in the way that I was and one of them, in fact, was in a non-adjacent and (IMO) non-applicable field. "Liking" doesn't mean they're more qualified than you.

I have felt really low since my RIF in June, but then there are moments when I advance a little in a search or just network and am reminded that I have accomplished things. You surely have, too. It's a time when we're not getting the external validation of the workplace (however minimal it might have been) and it's easy to lose sight of our own self-worth. Have you considered volunteering? Doing something to support #FreeDC? (Not shilling for them--just noting that many folks' job search despair is compounded by local events, and that this might build some feelings of efficacy.)

You will get to a better place. I hope that when you do, you can feel proud that you've navigated another valley. [/quote]
