job hunting is a full-time job fr

Okay, real talk. I've been grinding applications for weeks, and my brain is fried. This whole 'job hunting' thing is literally a full-time job in itself, maybe even more demanding than some actual jobs I've had. Constant rejections, ghosting, endless cover letters... my mental health is barely holding on. Anyone else feeling this existential dread? It's giving burnout 😩 #jobhuntstruggles #gradlife #sendhelp #burntout #unemployedgrind

OMG YESSS. I thought I was the only one. Just got another 'we went with someone else' email and I'm ready to throw my laptop out the window. It's so demoralizing fr. The emotional toll is insane.

It's tough out there, no cap. My advice: take breaks. Seriously. Burnout is real. And maybe try networking more than just online applications. LinkedIn connections can open doors you wouldn't expect.
