PMI MIle Hi Job Seekers Group

A long job search is one of the most draining things a professional goes through. No paycheck, no schedule, no finish line. You send the applications, tailor the resume again, hear nothing back, then do it all over the next morning.

It wears people down in three ways. Exhaustion, from a search that runs like a full-time job with no end date. Cynicism, when rejection and silence make the whole system feel rigged. And a loss of control, because you can do everything right and still wait by a phone that doesn't ring.

Most job search advice focuses on tactics: fix the resume, work the network, optimize LinkedIn. Useful, but it misses the real problem. The tactics don't work when the person running them is depleted and bitter.

Serban Mare spent over 20 years in high-pressure technology roles. He arrived in this country with $200, worked odd jobs and weekends, and knows the grind of searching for something better. Today, as an Engineering Program Manager, he leads complex initiatives without burning out, using a science-backed framework that addresses what actually drains people.

This session gives job seekers practical tools to protect their energy, beat the cynicism that creeps in, and reframe the stress of the search as something they can use rather than something that uses them up.

1. The 3 warning signs of burnout and how to address each before they show up in retention data

2. The 1 stress mindset shift that separates those who thrive from those who burn out

3. Practical tools to rebuild energy, restore morale, and regain control
