    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I've been struggling to find a job for the past 8 months after being laid off from my unique role. Despite my efforts to improve my resume and job search strategy, I feel like I'm just getting crickets in my inbox. It's frustrating because many positions require a perfect match, and my past experience doesn't fit neatly into those boxes. I have around 2 years of experience, which puts me in a tough spot in the job market. I’m willing to learn and even relocate, but nothing seems to be working out. I often feel worthless, like my skills aren’t valued, and it’s really taking a toll on me. I’m trying my best to stay positive, but the struggle is real and I really need to find something soon.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning Thinking

    I've been job searching for 7 months now, and it's been a tough journey. I have a background in technology compliance and operations analysis, but I'm struggling to figure out what skills I should focus on to transition into business analysis or product management. I know the common advice is to upskill, but I'm overwhelmed with options and unsure what would be most beneficial. I've been applying to roles where I can highlight my transferable skills, but it feels like most positions require specific experience that I don't have. I'm particularly frustrated because I notice that job postings are scarce, especially on Mondays when I start my search. I'm hoping to get some guidance on what specific tools or skills I should learn to improve my chances.
