How do you keep yourself motivated despite the constant rejections making you feel worthless and not good enough? I've learned to become more optimistic and hopeful over the past year but I'm falling into the same trap of helplessness triggered from the constant rejections of job searching, it's gotten so bad I don't even apply because I'm afraid they'll reject me (so I just reject myself first). It's so silly, I just can't build the confidence to apply properly for a paid position (but if it's volunteering or an unpaid internship I don't feel any pressure because I'm not really losing anything if they don't accept me). I feel afraid of the constant application portals for no reason. How do you power through the process and keep going? The easiest thing would probably be to reach out to a recruiter or person in the company who can get a human to read my CV....Should I just scrap the "400 applications for 1 job offer" motto and just focus on finding people in my network willing to pass my CV to their HR department? How can I stay optimistic throughout the process despite having severe depression (and how can I hide my mental health history if needed)?
