Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Vidya for your video. I was in the same boat when you mentioned about the rejection emails that we receive next morning for almost all the jobs..n then I am depressed for a week n then scale up the search. One of my friend gave me an honest advice to just delete those emails quickly as you see a reject email..as it’s ATS system generated. I second what you said on do not devalue us in desperate situation..indeed there is light in the end of the tunnel. Thanks for sharing !

Oh my, sorry to hear that you had to go through this as well. I used to move them to a different folder but on the phone they still show in the main folder. Glad that the ordeal is over for you as well.

Great video. It feels like we are having a conversation face to face. Love your cheerful attitude. My son also graduated from high school this year. Keep your positive spirits up. Looking forward to see more of your videos.

thanks for sharing Vidya.I did something similar I was in this really toxic job it was so stressful had no time to spent with kids I quit and thought that I could easily find another one. But what I thought would be a two month break has turned out to be more than a year and I started getting desperate.still looking.

Oh no. You made a call on getting out of the toxic job. Nothing is more important than your health and family. Praying that you find a better one soon. Good luck!

Hope you find a job soon! I was in a toxic job situation too but I had heard people say one should never leave a job without finding another one first. I was lucky in that I landed another job within 2 weeks of searching and I was out of there after another two weeks. If anyone else is in a similar situation, know that the act of looking for another job itself can give you a sense of hope and well-being, and that may help you withstand your present job for the duration of your search... depending of course on what kind of toxicity is going on. All the best to you.

Soo glad ur back❤

thanks for sharing.. if its ok to ask, how did you answer layoff related questions.. you know when we are in self doubt such questions needs to be handled in a a such a way that we dont degrade ourselves.. im clueless on that.. did they even ask?

@WhatsUrHomeStoryMalayalam

10 ай бұрын

By layoff related questions do you mean why were you laid off? If so, I would say the reason in a matter of fact way. Frankly unless it is performance related there is really nothing to be embarrassed or degrading about it. It happens all the time and interviewers and recruiters are aware of that fact. In an interview you should never show that you have self doubt about anything. Treating the layoff like a regular thing that can happen to anybody is the best way. Also there is no need to volunteer that information either. Talk about it only if you are asked about it for e.g. “why are you looking for a new job”.

Nice of you to share your experiences honestly. Will be inspiring to many. Great tips too. I never faced a jobless situation, except once I walked out of a bad/brand new job. I was fortunate to find a new / better one in few months, although at lesser pay. I am happy till date. One thing I noticed is the openings are now effortlessly becoming nationwide. Few months ago, LinkedIn shows dozens of applicants in a day or two for many openings.. It came down slightly, now, to half a dozen applicants for new jobs. I imagine the unemployment situation improved.

So sorry this happened to you. It's wonderful though, that you're able to turn this around and make it into a constructive learning experience for viewers! Thank you for sharing. Happened to me twice too though in my case it was the same organization twice! Yup, they called me back 4 years later after restructuring the position (no application needed) and again 4 yrs later laid me off after more restructuring! I still have no hard feelings because it was such interesting work and I felt valued. Did you ever consider volunteer work? Instead of going back into the paid workforce, I thought long and hard about what I wasn't really able to do in my chosen career, approached an organization I had been volunteering with for decades and kickstarted a new (and very successful) project for them. Just an option for those who who are financially secure and are in a place in their lives where they want to do something really big. Thanks again, Vidya!

Thanks Vidya. I was looking for a job for the past one year and I should say I got only 3-4 interview calls and my gmail has been dumped with 100s of rejections.I think I should try these tips from now on and have heard these from several recruiters like candidates should tailor their resume according to the job description . I am looking for a QA job - entry level. Even though I cleared all the rounds in one company, they were not ready to give me the offer letter since my visa has expired 5 days back.

So sorry to hear that you are going through this as well. The resume tip is definitely a must as these days the first step is usually automated scanning. If the resume doesn’t pass this step the chance of an actual person looking at it is low. Good luck to you!
