Every day feels like a mini deadline
Wake up check email check LinkedIn check the spreadsheet I made to track all my applications. Repeat.
Job hunting on a visa its not just job hunting which means every day without progress isn’t just one less day to find something, its one day closer to my grace period running out. Even something as simple as a slow recruiter reply feels like a ticking clock in the background. I've been trying to be smart about it, applying only to companies that actually sponsor. I even started using this site Migrate Mate because it filters out all the roles that would reject me for my status and it was the first time it felt like things are getting better. But the reality is even with that, you can still go weeks without a single solid lead which is stressing me out.
How do you keep pushing forward without burning out? Is there some strategy beyond apply, apply, apply that actually makes a difference?
