I’m baaaaaaaaaack

Friend!

A little birdie told me you felt abandoned by my newsletter silence. I apologize for worrying you! I’m alive, well, and still unemployed. A bit sad none of you checked in to see if I’d gotten an offer and jumped ship 😔 but alas…

The truth is, sometimes writing about job searching gets hard. And summer is DEFINITELY one of those times. I just wanted to lounge around and pretend I was getting paid for my holidays, manifesting a billionaire yacht owner hiring me straight on the beach.

Now September’s here, and it feels like the month for career moves. My LinkedIn is overflowing with acquaintances and former colleagues announcing shiny new jobs, promotions, or moves to greener, less unemployed crisis-y pastures.

Coming back from holidays with a job is like returning to school after summer break: you dread it, but hey, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Coming back from holidays without a job feels more like inmates shuffling back to their cells after rec time. You try to ignore your situation, only to be pulled right back into it.

So how do you make that transition less soul-crushing? Maybe by leaning into the back-to-school mood, aka reconnecting with people, learning something new (or sneaking out to smoke cigarettes behind the gym… I don’t know your school experience).

September may not be a new year on the calendar, but it can still be a fresh start. Let’s see where it takes us. I’ll keep you posted & if you get a job you MUST let me know.
