long awaited job update + spring shopping, days in the city | nyc vlog

[@katiegulakowski7520]

Please keep sharing your job search journey! I’m in the same boat as you. I’m sure it’s not easy sharing the bad rather than the good. It’s nice to know the reality of what we all really go through when job searching although it’s typically not shared and talked about enough. It’s not as easy as applying and nailing an interview. The eagerness, excitement, the highs and lows. It’s all mentally tasking. We’re all rooting for you. Landing a job is not for the weak. It’s tough right now. I know the right opportunity will come!! Every no is one step closer to your yes❤

[@rachaelschroeder3243]

I really appreciate how vulnerable and honest you have been. I have been in the same scenario with job searching and can completely relate to the heartache

[@Katya-oo1kb]

Maybe consider moving back to DC? You seem to love it there, and I think there may be more opportunities for your line of work?

[@heyyitssj]

We will take you back in DC with open arms!

[@erynguilmette4196]

It's weird how some days with job searching we can feel great and optimistic, and others so downcast. Honestly, I really love hearing about your job search and how you are feeling with it. Since I am going through the same thing, watching your videos helps me a lot. Sometimes the job search can feel so lonely, so it's nice to know we are in this together. So, thank you for being so open and honest. You really help more than you know. Wishing you the best always!

When Kristee said I don't know what I'm doing with myself I felt that

[@kristinestocker]

About six years ago, I'd been out of work for ages, had an interview for what I thought was the perfect job, and didn't get it. It sucked so bad. But I got the very next job. Which was even more perfect. I was there for five years and never once considered leaving. I only finally left when the company was sold. Hang in there. Your perfect opportunity is out there!

[@SairaUmar]

The job market is super tough! I had 24+ interviews and hundreds of applications over a year and a half before I got my current job, and it was just about finding the right fit! Now that I’m in my current job I’m so thankful i didn’t get the other ones because this one ended up being a dream job! So hopefully it’ll all work out for you!!

[@interpretrebekah]

aww kristee sorry to hear that you didn't get that job, and i understand what you're saying that its hard to share online and then be even more bummed out you have to share that news twice. keep going girl! imagine if you knew that you needed to go through xx amount of interviews to land your dream job - let that be your motivation! each one is a learning experience and puts you one step closer to your next role! wishing you the best of luck in your job search 💕

[@kleopatrakhleo9668]

Also remember just because you didn't land the job it doesn't mean your not good enough or qualified theres just a ton of competition, im keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[@kleopatrakhleo9668]

I have been where you are with work and the roller coaster feelings, keep telling yourself its normal and keep going and giving it your all for every interview you do, youll find what is meant for you! it all happens for a reason

[@sharimissmanmiller1185]

I'm in HR and I recently had to search for a job and it was TORTURE so I feel what you are experiencing. I will say, there is something out there and what you are going through is so normal. I hate when companies don't send you notification when you don't get a job. So frustrating! I know you will get something soon and if you hit a wall, ask the universe if you are supposed to be in DC?? Love your videos and so thankful you keep making content! Thank you so much!! XO❤

[@cestmoiiix]

Thanks for sharing all the job search content… you’re such an inspiration!

[@Anna-iz3yq]

Also remember you can ask the interviewers for feedback/or advice for your next interview!

[@amyworley6221]

feeling for you kristee, thanks so much for your vulnerability 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@itsLeeeahhhS]

The right job will definitely come. I would say for anybody looking for job apply for places where you want be at, when I was looking for jobs I found myself applying for places I didn't want to be at and going through lengthy interview processes just because I wanted a job in a hurry. Give yourself time to process things and never be too hard on yourself. I remember interviewing at a place, the vibes were good, conversation was great, we knew mutual people in the industry and the interview was about an hour and a half two hours for them to ghost me after the interview. Needless to say I did find a job in an industry I didn't think I would grow in but don't let the process get to you.

[@Heather4272]

If you don’t have a job, how do you afford work out classes, dinners out, traveling, living in NYC, bars, clothing subscriptions? KZbin money only?

[@interpretrebekah]

yeah she's still a KZbin content creator who posts weekly vlogs and has sponsorships like hello fresh etc

[@babyroush9]

I remember your graduation cap with the glitter that is crazy omg! ❤

[@katiedesciose466]

Have you thought of reaching out to whomever interviewed you to thank them anyway and ask for feedback about what you might do to be THE candidate next time? You never know that something might work out in the future and they will remember you positively. And , the one they hired may suck, and you could end up being the one I eventually.

[@mikaelan321]

Hey girl, sorry to hear about the job- it took me 6 years of applying and waiting to finally get into my job now, so keep your head up and when the job is right for you it will all work out!! 💕💕💕

[@ptran21]

Also been job hunting for quite a few months and had the same thing happen to me after a promising job interview. Cheers to you and keep chugging!!

[@cheyennemarie7075]

Love the green plaid jacket! It looks great with your hair color

[@katesx0xo]

Literally had the same issue w hemming a azazie dress! They said there’s so much fabric so it cost a lot more than expected. Alterations ended up exceeding the cost of the dress lol

[@Madizzle013]

do you have any resume/cover letter advice? I have applied for so many jobs but have yet to get an interview. How do you make yourself stand out from other applicants?

[@mareike2802]

It’s not you it’s too competitive and not many jobs in a really specific field they probably filled these positions with people already before they advertised the job I would really consider working for a company in a different field and maybe with those connections you can get what you want later in your career good luck I just feel for you those jobs go by direct recommendation only

[@Calichick67]

The right job for you will come!

[@maniiasdiaries]

Hi there love- i am in the same spot and sending love and luck to you! Something that feels right will come along and the wait will be worth it. Sometimes we just need to get through it. 🌸❤️

[@Watchover09]

What brand is the pink coat?

[@FrancescaSophiaa]

omg i cannot believe youve never been to whiskey! its the best place to be in the summer, and the brewery next door is so fun, tailgate across the street is an outdoor 90s/2000s them bar thats AMAZING in the summer!!

[@daniCHARISMA]

Kristee we are the same age and it’s such a weird time for careers. I’m in the same boat as you. Not sure of my path but kind of knowing what I want? Cheers to late twenties,..

[@gingin1050]

That pink jacket..I'm dead🥰

[@lucianacorreiagomes2064]

Sorry to hear about the job 😔 Have you ever thought it could be related to being a KZbinr on the side? No idea at all, just wondering if you ever thought about that…

[@susansholisticlifestyle4572]

I’m so sorry you didn’t get an offer on those two jobs! This is lighting a fire under me to begin a you tube channel! Can you please share in a video or reply to my comment what steps I would need to take to start a you tube business after setting up the accounts on the legal side of things? (trademark/copyright/LLC/business insurance and etc) Thanks!

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

Have you ever thought about doing a debrief interview? Like with a team that chose another candidate, asking them why they didn’t choose you…

[@tewsimple]

guys Kristee doesn't need advice on how to live her life. don't tell her where to move or how to feel. she's sharing this with us and being vulnerable and I really appreciate that

[@Seolhwaneul]

I’m so sorry that you didn’t get the job! Just keep trying and it’ll all make sense soon. I’m just wondering, you have almost 300k subscribers, do you not see yourself going full-time on KZbin? I know more people with less subscribers going full-time on KZbin. Sorry if you’ve answered this before, I’m a new viewer hehe

[@jamieclaire1988]

I don’t think it’s your Kristee..the job market sucks right now..i been unemployed since January..i go on interviews but I haven’t heard back from anything yet.

[@lindaltsteele1313]

I believe your not meant to get a job position till the wedding is over . You have that on your mind ... STOP Being down on yourself it's not your time it will happen . After the wedding I see you meeting someone who will be the Juice you need for a Excellent Job . Love your videos 💗 So hang in there

[@pink777perez]

Where is your nude top from!?!!

[@PaigeAurelia]

Noooo this is Patrick

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Constantly questioning everything at all times

[@Rebecca-23]

Why don't you Just stay with youtube, it seems to be doing well for you

[@anatomycats]

I want you to know that we’ll always be excited for you whether you get a position or not!! We’re rooting for you and what’s best for you! 🫶🏻 there’s no judgement here. Cheers!!!

[@jennifergraham9679]

Maybe she needs to stop talking about her job search,doing in private and if she does get a job then she can announce it,folks will still be happy for her.

[@ladyyuna2000]

I miss New York so much and I wanna try the huge pretzel so yummy. 🤤🥨Sorry to hear about your job interview and I'm sending u my prayers here are some of my favorite quotes. "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) “Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it when things are tough.” (Richard M. DeVos) “After every storm, the sun will smile; for every problem, there is a solution, and the soul’s indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.” (William R. Alger)

[@jesstodd6218]

Soooo this might feel super annoying, but the intention is to provoke thought. That said I firmly believe that the universe blocks us when we need to pivot. Not saying that this applies to your situation necessarily, but if something else keeps coming up for you or if you have an untapped interest or passion that seems “fun” but not the plan maybe there’s another path and the “not the plan” thing is in fact “the plan” food for thought. 🤍
