Job search and unemployment: keeping going with clarity

Lots of applications, few replies: signs, questions to reflect on, and how career coaching helps with strategy and interviews.

Study and work

You send out applications and get rejections or no reply at all. Every week the pressure grows, on your finances and on your sense of worth.

How it can show up

You send out lots of applications, but without a clear direction.
After rejections you find it hard to keep going.
In interviews you struggle to name your strengths.
You are not sure which jobs really suit you.

Questions for you

There are no right answers. Take the question that stays with you.

Which tasks make you lose track of time?
Which jobs would you not have dared to apply for, and why?
What do the rejections have in common when you put them side by side?
Who do you know who works in a field that interests you?

Where coaching can help

In career coaching we clarify your strengths and goals, look at your documents and application strategy and prepare for interviews. Coaching cannot guarantee a job, but it helps you use your chances more deliberately.

When other help fits better

For financial support, benefits and funding programmes, the employment agencies or equivalent offices in your country are the right place to go.

If it is too much right now

Coaching is not psychotherapy and not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact the emergency services where you are right away, or a crisis service near you.
