A little over three years ago, I was “that woman”, the one sitting up at an ungodly hour, laptop glowing in my face like it was judging me, applying to so many jobs my CV started looking at me like, “Sis again?”
I was burnt out, crusty-eyed, and delusional enough to think I didn’t “deserve” rest. Apparently in my mind, rest was for people who had jobs not for people trying to get one.
Job searching is often described as a practical task where you look for openings, submit applications, and prepare for interviews, but it’s also a psychological process.
