'Doomjobbing' This can't be good! -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 62

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re going to talk about the new 'Doomjobbing' trend, a variation of 'doomscrolling' on social media, a habit which can become a way of engaging with a problem that feels outside our control. Getting hired, by its very nature, feels outside of our control and so there is a natural tendency to try to apply for as many jobs as possible.   #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.
