Reflections on Landing a Job in London
The author reflects on their difficult job-hunting journey in London. As a non-EU graduate without local experience, they faced constant rejections and heavy pressure while others secured offers. Through persistent networking, a senior helped pass along their CV, leading to their first interview. Despite self-doubt and anxiety, the author persevered through each stage and eventually secured a job. They attribute success not to background or connections but to persistence after setbacks and timely help from others, encouraging fellow job seekers to keep going.
