I feel like I already applied to every available job related to my skills, several companies and recruiters have ghosted me, I have a couple more cold leads left.

It just feels like this world will swallow me whole if I let it, but I'm not seeing any point of trying anymore. I know the longer I go unemployed the worse my mental/physical health will get and the worse my chances of finding a job become. I just can't even envision myself working anywhere, let alone working and being happy.

Just keep trying, man. Now is a good time to reflect on yourself and who you really are. Find new passions and hobbies if your current ones are making you feel hollow

Oh fuck me how could I forget to harvest my chi and mentally focus on the job so that I am guaranteed to get it.

Thanks for reminding me of this power.

Being honest here - you need to get some patience/determination

It's not uncommon for it to takes 6 months or so to find a job

Reflect on what caused your termination in the first place and try to use that to turn this experience around.

I am a worthless piece of shit that people innately dislike.

I don't know man I interviewed at a promising company three times, spoke with 7 different people, whole process took about 6 hours across three days and now they are ghosting me after they said they would follow up with me.

How am I not supposed to feel like shit over that.

How long ago was this? You're not the only person they're interviewing; could still be in the process

Or you know, just be creative. I could name 4 different ways to get an interview in like 3 days. Or just drive to these offices and present yourself in person, and followup. Go to the bakery and buy some fucking donuts for them. Something no other applicant will do because they lack the marketing skills to stand out, and they are just lazy.

But nah, just keep applying online, I'm sure they really are impressed by a random person on a piece of paper in a stack full of other random names.

It takes a while. Job searching is stressful for you, and can be depressing. But you shouldn't feel this way after 23 days, because this is reality we live in : you going to need months to find a job, if you want not any job, but something relevant to your education. There will not be new job postings every day, but you have to keep checking at least every other day. Took me over three months to find my current job, you will get there

its so strange that you're simultaneously trying to be helpful while giving advice but also being super condescending about it.

Worked for me before I started my own company, and I learned these tricks from a guy who makes 10 million dollars a year running his company, who specifically hired people who stood out in the ways I explained.

So, your BS rebuttal isn't really anything. It's surely not backed up by real word understanding.

Well why don't you at least try it once? If it doesn't work out then you can say okay this doesn't work.

My husbands in the same boat. It sucks. A really promising prospect just fell through, and its painful. Keep working your network, even those cold leads. Stay on everyones radar. Your job hunt is not at the top of their list of priorities, so you have to keep pinging them.

Dont give up. PPs are right; 23 days isnt that long.

You keep saying its poor advice, and pretending like that statement is true, without any sort of actual rebuttal. But I'll be sure to tell my friend who did this successfully, that her strategy sucked and her 6 figure job isn't real.

My baby boomer parents suggested the same outdated baby boomer logic you just did and it went nowhere for me. In fact, the people at the front desk looked at me like they were wondering if I was on drugs. I applied online for my current 6 figure job

1-1 for the anecdote fight are there any other challengers

It works very because most people dont do it. It's great for the rest of us who take the initiative, instead of waiting for handouts and doing the least amount of work possible like 95% of society.
