Hello to all,
I am trying this platform for the first time.
I recently graduated with MBA degree and worked hard in last 3 years by starting my own 3 companies and and working as project manager as well.
For my MBA and new life I moved to North America which is going well. During my MBA I worked on improving my skills in project management and business analysis. Got few certification as well which are highly valued.
Since last few months, I have been looking for the opportunities but not working very well. Once I participated in a company for business case competition and won as well. I talked with a guy and he promised me a job. We even discussed my pay, starting date, and position. But after that event he never replied to my messages and even the HR never replied. Recently, I came to know that they hired other people from that event. This is really heartbreaking.
After that I interviewed at a company and got selected as well. The HR guy reached out to my references and initiated security check as well. I was happy and excited ! But after a week I received a message from the HR simply stating that "We don't have funding right so we cannot hire you". Just plain cold text message. It was disappointing and left me unmotivated.
At the same period, I was selected to be a project manager for a company on contract basis but on the day of contract signing I did not hear anything. I reached out the next day and was told that the project was scraped and we cannot provide you the contract.
Heartbreaking !
Comes January 2020. Started applying again for the jobs. Interviewed at a company and the HR guy said that you are really talented but we are hiring someone else for this role. Also, we are adding a new position soon and are considering you for that position. I don't know what's gonna happen. I have lost trust in everyone right now.
At the same time, I was talking with a recruiter and was selected for an interview. It has been more than 2 weeks that we had phone interview but interview is not scheduled. Every time I reach out to her, she says that she is still waiting to hear back from the company. She is sure that we will get the interview but don't know when.
During my MBA, I was working at a company on part time basis and the people from other department really liked me and wanted me to work with them after my MBA. I regularly met them, had many informal interviews, the only thing I needed was support from my manager. He didn't. I had to quit !
Now, I am just hopeless, tired, stressed, and unmotivated to apply for new jobs. I am just tired ! I feel like crying but cannot. I feel like hurting myself but I know I shouldn't. The stress is affecting my relationship with my wife and personal friends. My all other friends are from business family background and are handling their dad's business empires. My dad too owned a real estate business which I was about to join after my undergrad in 2015 but as the time came, the business tanked and I was left with nothing to look forward too.
I am not able to sleep at night nor focus on my health. I feel like sleeping through my day and night just to avoid the reality. I was a big time introvert but in last two years I attended more than 50 networking events just to break the shell and survive in this extrovert world.
But now I am tired and exhausted ! I just wanna cry and want someone to listen to me. I don't want share this things with my wife or family as I don't want them to stress out. But in the end, I am just tired.

ReplyTry Try Again
by T. H. Palmer
'Tis a lesson you should heed,
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again;
Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear
Try, try again;
Once or twice, though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try, try again;
If we strive, 'tis no disgrace
Though we do not win the race;
What should you do in the case?
Try, try again
If you find your task is hard,
Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again
All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view:
Try, try again.
ReplyOne thing that can ease your exhaustion is rest. Rest does not only mean sleep. It also means being kind to your mind. The mind is like a machine that creates thoughts. It is not in your brain. Thoughts are energy. They are powerful to create your world…your life. A single thought, be it negative or positive affects your behavior, perception of people and life. It is the sum total of your beliefs. Your beliefs are the thoughts that you keep thinking about and what you keep focusing on. What you focus on materializes. When you change your focus, situation changes as your perception and beliefs have changed.
Allow yourself to focus on the opposite. You can do this. How? You have clearly focused on the negative results of your job interviews and other situations in the past. If you have allowed yourself to do this, then you CAN absolutely allow yourself to focus on the following:
• Focus on the lessons of your experiences not on how they badly affected you.
• Focus on the strength you have demonstrated every time you had a setback.
• Focus on the number of times you got up, showed up and dressed up to keep on keeping on.
• Focus on the present moment, as this is the only time you have. Past is gone and future is not guaranteed to come.
• Focus on how your body still miraculously works for you despite your challenges,
• Focus on your family who loves you especially your wife.
• Focus on the opportunities for every failure
