Sharing this, not for “awwws” but because I just need to get it out of my system. Never again will I EVER underestimate the damage unemployment can do to people. It’s been 9 months, 1000+ of applications, rejection emails, offers to rewrite my resume for $500, bespoke cover letters…

Everyone can tell me exactly what I’m doing wrong. “You need to be patient, it might take months!” I was patient for two months, and now I don’t have a job two months later. “You need to stay on top of recruiters so they don’t forget you!” “You need to remove the dates from your resume”

“You need to get these skill certifications” “You have to focus on what you excel at!” “You need to expand your search.”

If I ever get a job again, my rule will be to offer to BUT a cup of coffee FOR ANYONE looking for a job, and just. fucking. listen.
