Using Melooha to Curate Your Job Applications

New Beginnings, New Tasks

Graduating from college is often seen as a milestone filled with promise and excitement, but for many, it can also be a time of confusion and uncertainty. I recently met a young man named Ravi, who had just finished his degree. He was the type of man to always help, to always be seen, and well liked by his community. He had just finished his degree, eager to start the next chapter of his life. But instead of feeling confident, he felt lost—unsure about his future, overwhelmed by job applications, and uncertain of how to navigate the real world. With mounting pressure from family and friends, Ravi found himself paralyzed by indecision, feeling isolated in his struggles to make the right career choices.

That’s when Melooha became a guiding light for Ravi. By helping him organise his thoughts and feelings, Melooha gave him the clarity he needed to assess his strengths and ambitions. Ravi explained to me how in this age of uncertainty a man cannot predict what is to happen. Yet, a man needs to do the things required to live life. To work, to enjoy family, to make friends. But first, Ravi said, we all should find work. And finding work is hard. He needed direction, hope, and a positive light. He asked Melooha “Could I get a job?” 

Job prospects this month are realistically tough every month. But, Ravi told me one sentence that created an impact. 

“Job applications require resilience. I failed a couple hundred job applications. I succeeded once. Now I can work the job I earned!”

The world can be an oppressive land. But Ravi reminded me why we all pick ourselves up to work for another day. I hope Melooha can help all people further develop themselves, build new confidence, and find new opportunities. Going through the process of asking the questions that press your mind most, to getting recommendations & solutions, to enacting those changes in your life. 

Now, here are a few tips about the job application process, AND what questions you should be asking to Melooha!

Here are the Questions to Ask Melooha!

What are the personality traits that are best fit for my dream career?

  • Tips: Identify strengths that align with the roles you seek, such as creativity, adaptability, or leadership. Use Melooha as an assessment tool to figure out what personality traits are best suited for your zodiac. 

What are the best times to start looking for a job?

  • Tips: The start of the year (January to March) and late summer (August to October) are prime job hunting seasons. In addition, Melooha can provide you with periods where the stars show beneficiary periods to send job applications. 

Will my networking skills translate into good job opportunities?

  • Tips: Yes! As long as you put yourself out there. Attend industry conferences, webinars, and local meetups to connect with professionals. Melooha will not help finding these opportunities, but if you are feeling some hindrance to going out and networking, then ask Melooha how you can become more comfortable networking. 

Will I be able to handle the stress of repeated rejections?

  • Tips: Keep a log of accomplishments and progress during your search to stay motivated and focused on your strengths. You can use Melooha to explain how you are feeling, and ask how you could feel in the next day, week, or month!

How can I tailor my application for each job without it being too time-consuming?

  • Tips: Start with a master resume that includes all your experiences and skills, then quickly customise it for each application by highlighting the most relevant sections. You can use Melooha to ask about the best types or sections of jobs to apply for. This will help you focus on the parts of the application that are truly important. 

Will I make a good impression in my interview?

  • Tips: This is a tip that is available online, but I really recommend this trick. Use STAR - Situation, Task, Action, Result - as a methodology to clearly structure your answers to demonstrate problem-solving and achievements effectively. 

So… What Next?

I truly hope that this blog can help everyone who is going through their first, second, or nth job search process. These periods are stressful. These periods can feel as if they may not end. They can be filled with uncertainty. But, I hope that Melooha can help you all during this uncertain time so that you can achieve your dream goal.
