Struck In my Career
I graduated in 2023 and was placed in a company, where I worked as a Data Analyst for nine months before being laid off.
After five months of job hunting, I secured a one-year apprenticeship at Cisco as a Network Engineer. I worked very hard, enjoyed the work, and gave my best in the hope of being converted to a full-time employee. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, they were unable to convert any of us.
Since then, I have been searching for a new job, and it has now been almost eight months without success.
During these eight months, I have attended almost six interviews. Out of those six, I reached the final round in four interviews and successfully cleared them. However, even after clearing the interviews, the companies have not released the offers and have instead informed me that my candidature is on hold.
I am very worried because I have to look after my family. I feel stuck and depressed, and I am trying my best to stay positive while continuing my job search.
