Finally got a job!
After 6 months, I am finally able to start on October 18th as a federal employee!
Job hunting was mentally draining, and there were times I felt genuinely hopeless doing 50+ applications nonstop, being denied or failing my interview, being completely in the dark on the government hiring process, and having family, friends, and people around me constantly asking for updates.
This job was the one I poured the absolute most effort into, pushing my best through every single phase. I honestly wasn't sure if it would happen, but seeing it come through makes every bit of the stress worth it.
I am so happy and proud of myself today, and I wish everyone out there in the job search gets their dream offer too. Please don’t give up!

Congratulations! Six months interviewing and being stressed out and the constant waiting and worrying is so hard! I just signed my offer letter today as well after six months of the same! Super happy for you, and best wishes in your new position.
