Transitions

Have you ever seen the movie, "Book Smart?" It's about two girls that are best friends and they're about to graduate from high school. The two girls never partied and they were always very focused with doing everything right and getting into Ivy League schools. As the movie goes on, they find out that all of the "party" seniors also got into Ivy League schools. They were dumbfounded, they did everything right, yet the individuals who partied ALSO got into Ivy League schools. The two of them decided to go to this big senior graduation party and live it up.

Why am I bringing up this movie?

Because, I feel like I've done everything right in my career. I've always been career focused-building my brand on LinkedIn, recruiting internships, recruiting classes...etc. And yet, I still can't find a job. There are jobs out there, but none of them fit what I am looking for in a job. I believe in self growth and consistency. I don't want to take a job just to take a job for healthcare-I have state healthcare and it's fine for now.

We're a little halfway into 2023. This year has been the crazy year of transitions for me... I keep saying it has been the best year but the absolute worst year for me.

  • In December, I was offered a wonderful job that would ignite my career to the next level. I also met my current significant other in December (a wonderful and beautiful transition)
  • January I left my solid career at Capgemini to take on my new role
  • Three months later, I was laid off from the new company due to the "economy"
  • I was saving up to buy a house in 2024 and now that plan is on hold for a while
  • I've been on three different healthcares (currently on state healthcare-I have no more comments on state healthcare)
  • I've had three different jobs (currently contracting)
  • Over 200+ job applications that I've applied to. The amount of rejections, I've been getting is laughable-that's all you can do. Laugh
  • I've had, maybe 5 interviews...

I was finally feeling like I was crawling out from the hole that COVID put me in and now that hole is starting to happen again. Like COVID in 2020, I know I am not alone in this. I have a great support system and I am thankful for them and the contracting role I'm working on.

How are you getting through? If you've been impacted by a layoff, recently, how are you keeping a positive mindset?
