Job Hunting Is Draining… Obviously

Let’s be real: job hunting is a full-time job that doesn’t pay. Between ghosting, rejection emails, and feeling like your resume is screaming into the void of an ATS black hole — it’s no wonder so many of us feel burned out before we even land the role.

In this episode, I break down why job searching takes such a toll, what it looks like from the recruiter’s chair (yes, we’re frustrated too), and how job hopping can carry your burnout with you if you don’t pause to reset first.

🎧 If you’re applying, interviewing, or just tired of hearing “we went with another candidate” — this one’s for you.
