Recruiting Challenge

Hey everyone,I wanted to reach out because I'm feeling lost in my recruiting journey, and it's starting to take a toll on me. I'm currently at an M7 school in midwest, and despite my best efforts, things just aren't working out. To add to the pressure, I have a substantial international loan hanging over my head, which is making the situation even more stressful.One of my biggest challenges is that I'm an introvert, which makes networking much more difficult than it should be. I know networking is crucial in this process, but it's been a struggle for me to make meaningful connections and stand out.At this point, I'm starting to feel like any job that pays around 80K would be okay, just so I can start paying off some bills and alleviate some of this financial stress. However, the looming graduation date is causing me immense worry, and I've even started questioning if suicide is the only way out of this situation.I know these thoughts are not healthy or productive, so I'm reaching out here for advice. What steps can I take to improve my recruiting prospects given my introverted nature and financial constraints? Any tips or experiences from those who have been in similar situations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you all in advance for your support and guidance.

Hi Granolalover4195,

I am sorry to hear that stress is a big part of your student life right now.

I would like to refer you to your school's Student Assistance Programme, often written in shorthand as SAP.

The SAP is a confidential resource (no member of staff or other students will be able to access any information shared), designed to help you deal with personal and professional problems that could be affecting your home or student life, health, or general wellbeing.

The SAP service usually offers a complete support network including expert advice and compassionate guidance, covering a wide range of issues:

* Physical health – weight, exercise, sleep, smoking, drinking

* Emotional health – anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress

* Life support – legal and financial, family and relationships, bereavement and loss

* Work and education

Help starts with making the first and most difficult step, making contact and asking for help.

PS the name may be different but the school's student services team is there for you.

All the best 🐈‍⬛
