[@bujowithzozo]

[@withdanilee]

OMG I knowww 😭 not kidding when I say she literally makes my days a million times better whenever I go see her HAHAH also ~ I wish you all the best, I'm sending all the good vibes! You/we got this :')

[@analyn__]

i am also job hunting so when i was the title of this video and hearing your journey i was happy to see someone going through it at the same time as me haha 😅 also this notion template will be very helpful, so i thank you so much! i was able to do an interview last week so i'm waiting for their response this week! God bless you on your journey

[@withdanilee]

Thank you so much & I hope the template is useful!! We’re all in this together 😊💗🥹

[@tiarausog8538]

Ahh, I just left a very poor job and am also job searching at this time. I feel your pains!! Will be praying for both of us! ✨

[@WanderingBreanna]

I’m also job hunting now, so glad this vid was recommended to me! I’m planning to spend some time briefly traveling before starting a new role but not knowing how long I’ll be hunting for/how long I’ll potentially be unemployed for makes it tough. As encouragement, no matter the age/experience, job hunting is tough but your content creator experience is insight I’m sure lots of companies are eager to have. All about selling those transferable skills! I also love your editing style!

[@Laurenn-n5t]

Also I really appreciate the transparency on financial perspectives in social media!! The ability to get a loan isn’t something I would have thought of so I appreciate your openness about it all ❤

[@withdanilee]

Thank u miss lauren ilyyy

[@prakrithir4280]

that baby is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. what a LITTLE MUNCHKIN SWEET PIE

[@withdanilee]

She is quite literally my favorite little thing on this earth HAHAHAA 🥹💗✨

[@juliakboateng]

ahh i LOVEEE this video and all the angles 😭!! thank you sooo much for your transparency and humility Dani- its such a tough process and it takes a lot of strength to go back to something that now feels unfamiliar. in the same boat rn ahaha and I know you got this and God's got you!! 🩷

[@withdanilee]

Ahh thank you Julia! You truly have such a kind heart 💗 praying for a truly fulfilling 2025 for you 🥹✨

[@maia-roll]

Good luck on job hunting!!! I job hunted in the fall of 2021-early 2022 and then again in the fall of 2023-early 2024. It’s hard out there for sure and can take a long time. 😅 Be patient and keep at it! I also love your job tracker! I did something similar to keep track of everywhere I applied to which was so handy! I definitely don’t blame you for wanting more consistency! I love that my current role I have consistent income each paycheck and a consistent schedule. I do feel like I can better plan for my financial and life goals with that consistency in my life. Sending all the well wishes your way as always! ❤

[@withdanilee]

Thank u so much! I'm trying to be as organized as possible, the consistency would be a dream come true 😩💕 ily Maia wishing u the most amazing 2025 !!!

[@Laurenn-n5t]

The baby!!!!! Brings me so much joy 🥹

[@withdanilee]

THE BABYYYY

[@mariam-mona]

Hey ! Thanks for this video. I was in community manager training for a year and a half, and I see myself so much in you! The stress of feeling like I’ve been inactive for so long is really overwhelming, so it’s reassuring to see that even talented people like you also feel this way! I’m not worried about you, though! Wishing you the best in your job search :)

[@withdanilee]

Thank you so much!! 😊

I recently watched a Home Buyer Remorse video on Zac Rios' channel and felt so validated watching this one too, I highly recomend it after this video for anyone who feels "behind" in life. I wish more people were transparent about finances-it doesn’t have to be your full balance sheet, but sharing real experiences can help so much. While 9-5 jobs aren’t completely ‘safe,’ they make clearing debt and worklife boundaries easier.

Girlll I’m job hunting too! Fresh grad but it’s been a hard month with self esteem issues and lots of crying. Such a good strength from God we have. Stay committed to the process and most importantly His love 💛

[@withdanilee]

Aw congrats on graduating !! Praying that something will come your way soon (& I’m sure something will) 💗🥹

[@rosietorres068]

Hiii! Love the video very helpful as well. Love the hair ❤

[@withdanilee]

Aw thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@Rimaahhh]

I had notion but I never knew how to properly use it and some of the templates were kinda confusing to use😟I feel like I definitely need something like this to keep track of applications and assignments for sure

[@Secondbestday]

I appreciate your honesty in this job search journey so much! Also, I love that you’re tracking your application process. I was definitely in the camp of apply to anything and everything and if someone replies, I’ll just see the email 😅

[@withdanilee]

😂 thank uuu hehe and it’s just the crazy perfectionist in me … 🫡

[@JenniferOmemma]

I love the temperature of your video

[@withdanilee]

aw thank you so much!

[@paige.005]

Try social media management. It covers everything you want in a job.

[@socialsissteph]

I’m legit in the same situation!!! I’ve been freelancing for almost 2 years and I’ve just decided to apply for fulltime jobs this January 😅

[@withdanilee]

glad we relate 😭 wishing u the best of luck!! 💗✨🥹

[@KrishnaaDesai]

I’m also job hunting. It’s been so stressful. I don’t do anything on the side. Seems nothing is on my side no love no job :(

[@withdanilee]

Ah I can imagine how disheartening it’s been 😭😣 hope things turn up for the better soon 💗🥹 and know you’re definitely not alone based on what I’ve been seeing in the comments !

[@rachelthompson6072]

[@withdanilee]

The label says it’s from miou muse ?? I actually got it from this small shop in Michigan so I don’t think you can get it online :(((

[@tarunpalfilmmaker]

Hey Dani! Relatable vlog about the job hunt! Love the application tracker idea. Good luck, you got this! On a side note, I'm a video editor and love how you connect with your audience. I'd love to collaborate if you ever need editing help! 😊

[@withdanilee]

Aw thank you so much, that means the world to me 🥺 I’m currently not looking for an editor, but I'll definitely keep you in mind if that ever changes 💗✨

[@tarunpalfilmmaker]

@@withdanilee for sure no issues by the way it 'd be great if you could just help me with some leads who I can potentially work with as a freelance video editor

[@la3044]

Which camera do you use? I wanna try making videos for fun

[@withdanilee]

Sony a7c!

[@PonkyStudio]

Gurl, I’m a about to give up on looking for a job at this point… job market is pathetic, it’s like I have to beg for a job…

[@withdanilee]

Aw I’m sorry to hear 😭 I’ve barely scratched the surface applying … but I can imagine how tough it is right now. I hope something will come your way soon !! 😭💗

[@lacuswongq0909]
