Could you elaborate on how accepting it improved your career? Did it change the way you interview or the kinds of jobs you accept?
- going on $JOB_BOARD
- sending out CV & Cover letter
- talking to recruiter
- going to 3 interviews
- rinse and repeat
Wasn't working. I was not in demand. I had to constantly reach out to people, just to get interviews at places I didn't really want to work for. And even then they'd usually reject me.
It was a wake up call that I was on the fast track to nowhere, and something had to change.
Ended up specialising in an industry and doing contract work. I'm not super successful yet, but there's a lot more interest in me. My work days are much less frustrating and I'm earning more.
