I was talking to a friend of mine about my current job hunt and complaining about it and all that and she just kind of laughed and said:
"That's always been your problem. You're so good at what you do, you think things will just happen if you give it some attention. It's just a job. Just keep applying to until you find something."
Ha, I was annoyed for a second, but she was right. I've always been privileged in how and who I work with, so I'm kind of entitled. And it is just a job.
Even though it sucks to get 'checked' it shows you have good taste in friends. Bc you had one willing to call you out but not be super embarrassing about it.
Same here.
