Job hunting is not easy, confidence is shot, motivation is shot too. Now I finally understand the gauntlet of emotions that the unemployed go through as they try to find a job, and the desperation that creeps in rejection after rejection. Fact is, I'll be glad to get some rejection now, stupid policy of only notifying those that are shortlisted leaves you wondering everyday if you have been rejected or whether the HR is just taking their own sweet time. It also makes you wonder what is wrong with you when nobody gets back to you.
Do I wish I still have an anchor around? Of course I do, but the reasoning behind it is not exactly clear. Is it due to the self-pity or whether I really miss having the anchor. Anchor keeps you in place but also introduces drag, and its own issues may or may not create problems of its own. All in all, tough times ahead, whether or not it makes or breaks me remains to be seen. There's only so much one can do to remain positive, but positive I must.
