it's been almost 3 months since I finished university. I'm still unemployed. applied to 50+ jobs and only had 4 interviews. no idea when my next pay check is going to be. everyone telling me 'rejection is redirection' but it's so disheartening waking up to new rejection emails. I don't want to do a panic masters to have more student debt. It is HARD out here 💔✨
