Oh, I feel you, mate! The job search can be a real roller coaster, especially in these uncertain times. But remember, you're not alone in this. Many seniors are in the same boat, navigating the choppy waters of job hunting. It's important to keep your chin up and continue pushing forward.

Here are a few things you might want to consider:

  1. Keep Applying: Don't limit yourself to a specific type of job or company. Broaden your horizons and apply to as many relevant positions as you can.

  2. Networking: Based on the most helpful WSO content, networking can be a game-changer. Reach out to alumni, attend career fairs, and don't be afraid to ask for informational interviews.

  3. Skill Up: Use this time to enhance your skills. WSO Academy offers a range of courses that could make you stand out in the job market.

  4. Self-Care: Don't forget to take care of your mental health. It's okay to take breaks, relax, and do things you enjoy.

Remember, every no brings you closer to a yes. So, hang in there! You've got this.

Just keep going. I had many many interviews and rejections before I got my offer. Keep polishing your technicals and keep networking.

Is it because you are not getting interviews? Then check with mentors/counselors in how you should be doing it.

Is it because you lack internships / extra-curricular activities? Try to add some to the resume.

Are you too late or not qualified? Maybe consider a different path
