The pandemic is causing my company to close. I am now going to be searching for a job in a saturated market!
It took a long time for my partner to respond
it is a bit long
a little shorter interaction
I'm so anxious. I'm losing my job at the end of the month and I don't know how my resume is going to hold up with so many other people looking for work too!

I can understand why you would feel this way. Maybe you should try to take a step back and reassess the situation.

Maybe, but it's hard to feel like there is another way to approach it. There's so many people struggling. It's all so sad and scary right now.

It may be a good time to go over your resume, making sure to fine tune all of your achievements and qualifications. This may help ease some of your worries and fears.

Wow, that's a great idea. Hmm. But what if I spend the fee to get my resume looked at but then don't land a job? Wouldn't it be better to save the money and hedge my bets?

It seems that you are mixed up in the decision to put in extra funds in a professional resume polish or use your time and energy instead of actual financial means. Is that right?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Exactly. I'm anxious that if I don't get professional help I won't land a job but then on the other hand I'm anxious that if I don't get a job I'll have needed the savings.

Perhaps you should speak to a trusted mentor or a closed loved one and seek their opinion. Often, we need someone outside of the actual situation that can give us great advice.

That's a good idea too. Maybe even someone who recently changed jobs can give me some interview tips! -Even if I get the interview I know I'm going to be anxious about that!

I understand we can all feel anxious during an interview, but remember what great qualities you can bring to the table and believe in yourself!

I'll try! Thank you so much for the advice!

Also, there are many online resources that are great at finding available jobs and require your time and effort, but not any money invested. This might be a good tool as well!

That's very true. Maybe I'll get started on that tonight.

I hope so. I've also been in a similar situation so I can completely understand your feelings. Keep in mind there are also resume sites that are free to use, as I know you are concerned about the financial part in that area.

That's nice to hear! Sometimes it feels like I'm being dramatic. I really appreciate your thoughts, having an action plan really helps me feel less anxious. Thank you.

I don't think so. I already feel excited to get started looking at those resources and tweaking my achievements.
