What Employers See Vs What Job Applicants Go Through
Aug 11, 2025
Employers see somebody applied.
To you, it’s 5 hours of hope, doubt, and a late night 🌙.
Most employers just see another application.
Here’s what they don’t see:
You climbed out of hopelessness 🕳️.
You silenced the “why bother?” voice.
You fought fears about age or gaps ⚔️.
You reassured your family ❤️.
You researched opportunities 🔍.
You tapped your network 🤝.
You researched the company 🏢.
You customized your resume 📄.
You wrote 3 cover letters ✍️.
You practiced interview answers 🎤.
You told your spouse this one felt good 💬.
You fixed a last-minute typo ✏️.
You put your best self on paper ⭐.
You hit “submit” with a pounding heart 💓.
You checked email 14 times 📧.
You hid rejections from your kids 🙈.
You got ready to do it again tomorrow 🔄.
Every line is energy spent ⚡.
Every step is an act of courage most people will never see 🛡️.
That is the hidden cost of job searching – the work, the hope, the resilience 💪.
Do you ever wonder if all the time you spend on an application even matters?
Keep going. You can do it 🚀.
