Job Search and Career Clarity

I've been searching for a job for the last 3 months. Honestly, it's been exhausting. I applied to over 50 positions, each rejection stings a little more, and I'm beginning to feel disheartened. I thought my last interview would lead somewhere, but just received the email that they went with someone else. At times, I wonder if I'm even on the right path. Knowing it's not just about finding a job, but feeling fulfilled in what I do leaves a weight on my shoulders. I'm so tired of wrestling with self-doubt and second-guessing my skills. There's a big job fair in two weeks that I’m thinking of attending, but I feel nervous about putting myself out there again. I'm praying for courage. I really want to find a position that aligns with my talents and passions, as well as provides stability, especially considering my growing student debt. Just need to find clarity about what the next steps should be. Please pray that doors open for me, and that I can keep my trust in God throughout this process. It's been tough, but I’m hoping for guidance during this confusing time.
