I love a happy ending @KaiRoe it's so good to hear that you're out providing support to the community and enjoying it. When you're in the midst of job applications and rejection e-mails it can be hard to keep at it.
Do you have any tips on how to look after yourself while applying for jobs?

Yeah! So when you're applying for jobs, try to limit the amount of time you spend a day doing it, and when youre not actively applying, use the rest of the day to do some self care activities, like reading, creating things, really just doing some things you love to do. Also try and remember that even if you get a rejection email, its not the end of the world and it doesn't reflect your worth! When i was applying for jobs, after each application i sent, i ate a little lolly as a reward

@KaiRoe, I love the idea of rewarding yourself after each application. I also think it's excellent advice to have a set period you apply for jobs and time for self-care/creating/relaxing.
When I've been between jobs, I know I struggle to relax because I'm not working. Looking back, I can see I was actually doing a lot by applying for jobs/doing courses to upskill. Everyone deserves to chill 🙂

Sure can! While i've worked many jobs in my life, i expereinced a period of two years really struggling to find employment after leaving one job because it wasn't right for me, during that time i'd just moved out of home and was desperate for work as i had rent to pay and three cats to support. I spent those two years applying for 40+ jobs a day and getting hundreds of rejection emails a week, before I applied for my current job, and after a few interviews they decided to give me a chance

@KaiRoe That sounds like it was really hard to go through, especially as you'd just moved out of home. I was in a similar situation where I applied for a lot of jobs and kept getting rejected before I got my current temporary role, but I couldn't imagine how I would have got on if I had rent and other bills to pay. Luckily, I was still living at home at the time.

Gosh @KaiRoe I can how challenging that would have been. I've been through times like that too and it can be tough to stay so motivated with job applications. I'm glad to hear that you landed your current role, do you enjoy it?
