I was unemployed for 13 months. I just got hired last week. It was CRAZY. I’ve learned if you never give up you will land somewhere. I wish you the best of luck!!

This is probably the worst job market in the last 30-40 years

This is quite generous of you 💝.. it’s a lot really, including the questions people ask you eg “are you applying?”

Been unemployed since Dec ‘23. Thousands of apps. Just landed a role with 120k base salary + bonus, starting next month. And funny as it sounds…after all this time, im barely even happy about it. I think something in my dopamine receptors broke along the way lol. I was 25 when I got laid off (for the second time), and am 28 now. Just feel like I lost a lot of time. But I hope we can all hit our stride eventually

This is power my love. So much strength in your vulnerability and I’m so hopeful for you suga. There is sooo much yet to come and looking forward to the future peaks. The valleys are hard but we will get through the in between together. And to the lies and bad thoughts: LOSAARSSSS, ALL of you.” 🤭

You’re strong and I totally relate to the trauma of chronic unemployment.

I’m borderline depressed. I apply to hundreds of jobs and I’m lucky to get a rejection letter let alone an interview. God help us going through this

19 months next month. And I think I have LOST MY MARBLES. So many things have added to my annoyance - the things people say, feeling like I failed, how much I’ve not been able to do during this time.

I lost 3 jobs in 3 years 2023-25. Last one I was unemployed 7 months. Took a job at a $40k salary decrease because honestly it’s all I could get. I moved to a federal government job from tech. I lost all the experience and knowledge I built over like 15 years and am back to the salary I was making 10 years ago. I don’t even know who I am anymore.

Lost my job in January last year. Interviewed with 5 companies earlier this year with final rounds. Didn’t get a single one. Had to take a break after that. But we back in motion, and I feel something coming soon!
