Hey y'all, first time poster on this sub. I have no clue where to even begin. I know I need to get this off my chest somewhere (and maybe ask for advice from experienced job seekers on the thread). I just recently, after being demoralized by a toxic workplace & abusive boss for 5 years, finally found the courage and time to start seeking a new job. For reference, this was my first job after being an unemployed graduate of 2020 for a year (hired 2021). I was scared to start looking cause of how hopeless it was during the pandemic (amongst other life events & excuses). Bosses loves to bully in every aspect of my career (most recently told me I cant take lunch breaks away from my desk anymore) and hold promotions that never happen above my head. Im barely making ends meet, the only reason I have stayed is because my family relies on me. Mood is up and down on the regular, but seeing other posters find jobs after months of searching is super hopeful. I could use any tips or encouragement for networking/interview prep as my field (graphic design) is extremely competitive and damn near impossible to stand out in. Any advice, kind or tough love is welcomed. I hope everyone keeps their chin up in these hard times. Stay safe out there.
