The first piece of advice about looking at resources for hiring managers is quite insightful! I will try to incorporate it in my job search.
I can totally relate to the remaining points. Entering the job market after a really long break has made me even less likely to apply than others. I find pushing myself to apply to a job as rather a learning as well as confidence-building experience of its own. Each application episode helps me overcome my fears. Rejection comes as not a rejection but another feedback that I can use to improve.
Keeping an eye on an application that I would love to submit in the future definitely helps in having a to-do checklist to prepare myself for that desired job.
You have very well pointed out the fact about ‘failure to demonstrate’. Demonstrating one’s abilities is another skill needed. I am back in the job market after a really long break and thus all of the above points have made me boost my confidence that took a hit because of the break.
Thank you for this great post!
