Guys,

I have been unemployed for 2 years after graduating. Job hunting is now exhausting and watching people I went to school with working and succeeding is heart breaking for. I do not want to lose hope but getting a motivation to continue trying is hard.

How do you guys get motivated to never give up. Help!!

Hi

Losing motivation while unemployed is completely understandable. Job searching can be emotionally draining, especially when applications go unanswered.

I have been there before, that was one of the hardest moments of my life as well.

This is what helped me and kept me going. I started exercising to relieve stress. I decided to do 10k steps a day just to go out to think.

I then decided to upskill myself by learning new skills using free courses online. I learned a way to updated my LinkedIn profile. I continued to network and talk to people even on social media.

I never stopped applying until I got a job. I hope that helps.
