YourNextMove: 'I’ve written customized cover letters, I’ve applied with no abandon, I’ve networked, I’ve pleaded. And it’s done nothing to help my chances.' Read kimberlybonline's response:
But you must believe that these goals are possible to achieve. If you keep thinking that retirement, a fulfilling job, and work-life balance are beyond your reach, you will continue to attract and participate in work environments that reflect those thoughts. I sympathize with your experience because no one wants to wake up every day and fantasize about throwing their computer at the wall.
Have you spent enough time in the roles you’ve held to showcase your ability to master key skills or projects? When you’re unhappy at your current company, it’s tempting to apply to any job that may provide you with a better work environment. But it’s key that you focus your efforts on open roles that actually maximize your strengths. Review your past work experiences and make a list of the tasks you’ve completed and skills you’ve acquired that you enjoy, that come easy to you, and/or that your peers ask you for help with; these are your strengths.
It’s unclear from your letter just how many jobs you’ve held in the last ten years and for how long, but if you’ve, that could also be holding you back as a candidate.
