Looking for a job is one of the hardest things that most of us have to go through. There's the obvious element: it's annoying to have to continually sell yourself, to put so much effort into something that will likely get looked at for 15 seconds, and to feel the mounting pressure of money lost while not working. It's not an easy market for anyone out there, and every position worth anything gets hundreds of applications in seconds.
Then there's the emotional element: facing constant rejection (as you often have to do when applying for jobs) can take a toll on your self-esteem, you might struggle to hone what you want to do for a living, and you might feel demoralized at the state of affairs in your chosen field. It's a double whammy from both ends of the struggle. It's not a journey for the weak, and it will make the best of us feel a little crazy.
