For the job that I did get, honestly I feel like they chose me for my personality/soft skills. The technical skills needed for the job is something I do not possess and there’s a steep learning curve for it. So yes, apply for jobs even if you think you don’t possess the relevant skillset for it because if you can show you are resilient and willing to learn, they’ll give you a chance.
How did you face embarrassment and humiliation if people still ask you , eh he is still jobless? How do you react to that? Doesn’t it feel depressing?
