This one hit close to home. Job searching can distort the way you see yourself very quickly, especially when rejection starts piling up and you begin questioning abilities that you had no reason to doubt before.

The reminder to ask for help matters too. Sometimes a conversation with someone who knows us, professionally or personally, is enough to give us back some perspective when rejection has taken it away.
Congratulations on making it into the Hall of Fame, very well deserved. And if you ever feel like stopping by my corner of DEV, you're always welcome. I'd be glad to continue the conversation there too. 💙
Thank you❤️

Thanks for the tip🙏🏻

Thanks🫶🏻
