There are good days, and there are bad days. Today, I am having a bad day. I've been looking for a job for over 6 months now. In the last month I've expanded my job search to include all of DFW, since I'm willing to relocate in order to get a job. I'm qualified, experienced, and educated. I will work my booty off, given the chance. I want this more than I could possibly explain, and it's just not happening. I know our economy is rough, but the job search can be really depressing.
Frustration. Depression. Loss of self confidence. Annoyance, irritation and desperation. These are all the things I'm feeling today. I begin to really question my abilities, is it really the economy, or is it just me they don't want? How am I supposed to get any experience when I went to get the education they wanted first? How do people find jobs so quickly? What do they have that I don't?
I've been really lucky to have my families support while I was out of work, but now, they can't really afford to give it to me anymore, and I'm reaching my wits end. I am well and truly desperate. And that feeling is absolutely terrifying.
Have you ever been unemployed for a long period of time? How did you land your current job?
