But then, I remind myself that isn't true. Being rejected is better than not applying at all. All we need is just one acceptance. Kudos to progress. 👍👍

    Jack, I really really feel for you. I graduated with a master’s degree in social sciences and humanities in 2019 and was unemployed (working part time as a crossfit coach to get by) for a bit over a year and omg I related so much to this whole vlog! It is so damn hard to go through it all! (got a job at Specsavers HQ in Denmark now, so quite funny, that you quoted them in this vlog). Looking back, I regret not taking more time off after graduating. I was completely burned out and then hit by the massive stress that is the jobhunt!
    The pandemic hit and that was the first time I was actually forced to take a break, which Ironically was a lifesaver for me!
    Anyway, the constant rejections are so demoralizing and pressure to be productive is extreme. I realized that I don’t think I am anyone unless I work, which is super concerning...
    You will get through this, and whoever hires you will be extremely lucky to have you! Appreciate all the honesty!
