The Screw It Vibe of Personal Rock Bottom

There is something kind of badass about hitting your personal rock bottom.

You get to a point where your current circumstance is wearing you down so much you have nothing to lose.

I have hit many personal rock bottoms and have made some audacious changes in the process.

I remember applying for my current job at my wits end of my old job, my soon-to-be trainer taking interest in my CV because it was so left-field and completely unrelated to the job I’d applied for (I was previously in science and was now applying for a finance recruitment job!).

Rock bottom put me in “f*ck it” mode. I didn’t have the energy to update the CV and it inadvertently caught the hiring managers attention. *Working in recruitment myself now I wouldn’t recommend that method to any of my clients or candidates — but it worked for me.

I’ve done some other pretty audacious things in my personal rock bottoms. I started a YouTube channel after a situationship fell to peaces. “F*ck it”, I thought. I already felt bad over losing someone and worrying about what other people would think of me (something that had previously stopped me from posting) was the least of my worries.

I’m also in a “f*ck it” mode right.
