TL;WR After an 18 month search I finally landed a job. As cliché as it sounds, don't give up!
As recent as yesterday I was still getting annoyed whenever someone posted to this sub stating they landed a job. I saw it as bragging, and maybe that's what I'm doing here but not trying to. Rather I'll tell you my job hunting story to try to instill some hope and validate your feelings.
Everyone frustrated with the seamingly endless job search experiences some level of anxiety and depression. It starts as simply fear of the unknown and decreased sense of self worth. Lack of employment quickly plays a heavy toll on your mental well-being. Your mind starts to become poisoned with negativity and dread about the future. It's really easy to slip into a skewed perspective and see everything as hopeless. Maybe not at first, but dozens or even hundreds of applications into the process and no amount of confidence can stand that much rejection.
The human brain is resilient and adaptive, but with diminishing returns and as time goes on wants turn into needs and eventually, desperation. This job market is brutal and nothing is fair or equitable. I feel my mind has become numb to emotion through this process to cope with rejection and feeling powerless. I am grateful I finally landed a job but it shouldn't have been this hard.
I applied to over 400 places, 78 interviews, three rescinded offers, but finally signed an offer letter yesterday. I know nothing is completely secure (I could still get laid off or lose my job) but I feel hope again for the first time in a long time.
All that to say, your feelings are normal and valid, but don't give up. Persistence is key and resilience is how you will land the job. Don't let the rejection own you.
