Persistence isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up again and again-even on the days when motivation feels far away. Job searching (or navigating a career transition) can feel like a series of starts and stops, but don’t mistake a pause or setback for failure. Every application, interview, and connection made is a step forward, even if the results aren’t immediate.

Just like climbing a mountain, progress comes with moments of rest, missteps, and recalibration. What matters most is that you keep going—one intentional step at a time. Give yourself credit for what you have done. Keep showing up. Keep refining your path. That’s where transformation happens.
