With layoffs popping up left and right like some popcorn, mental health becomes an even more important topic. The job market is ever changing and I’ve seen the fair share of LinkedIn posts summarizing individuals job searches where thousands of applications going un answered. It’s important to be positive and not be bothered by what you can’t control, but this is a tough mindset to get into.
