One person helping me look for jobs has been applying for jobs on my behalf, generally ones I wouldn't apply for myself. I've now gotten as many marketing interviews as interviews for all the jobs I thought I was clearly qualified for combined.
The good news is, on the meds I'm on now, I can reframe things and actually believe them. And after talking with her about why she was applied for those jobs, I convinced myself I bring things to them which your normal marketing person does not. I had an interview today, was genuinely confident, and thought I actually did really well. By the end of it, this job actually sounded like a good fit to me and I thought I'd made my case.
I got rejected in three hours, before I could even send the thank you email. I'm not sure if my interviewing skills are actually improving at all, but I have more confidence and am getting less crushed by rejections, so that's something, I guess?
