Looking for jobs is extremely daunting, i am finding myself applying for jobs and talking myself out of them almost instantly- i suppose thatfear of rejection, not getting a reply, etc starts kicking in.
Even for us so called 'career advisers' it is a really difficult process to put yourself out there, to be measured on a bit of paper that you have constructed about yourself . Ive realised it really isn't a nice process, especially when you are applying for jobs that you have already invested yourself in. I wasnt that bothered at University about being knocked back for part-time jobs a i knew that wasn't my 'career'; now however its an almost a knock to yourself to go for a job that you have studied for, put your effort into and think that you can do- for someone to say "no, actually you not what we are looking for."
I just thought that it must be a really really difficult experience for people who have multiple barriers to employment. I mean to constantly be rejected, as most people would see it, could put most hardened and confident people off- never mind people who are struggling with so many issues in their life already. It does give new meaning to all the schemes/pilots and non-profit orginisations that help these individuals intensively.
