clearaflagrantj 08/15/19 10:10:45 AM #1:	I've been unemployed for two months now. I've exhausted pretty much every single job listing and every single company I have seen on Indeed, LinkedIn (Premium, which does fucking NOTHING), ZipRecruiter, Monster (which is the worst site on the planet), and CareerBuilder. Yesterday I had two interviews The first I felt like it went awful, then six hours later the guy calls me up and says "CONGRATULATIONS! ... you have been selected as one of the top three candidates for further review!" I feel like you're not allowed to say congratulations unless you're ready to give a fucking job offer but whatever. The second the external recruiter said it was a slam dunk, my resume was perfect, they wanted to see me personally, I just had to not fuck it up. Well the interview was cut 90 minutes short and the two people didn't even escort me out of the building, they just walked out of the room and I had to pack my shit up and leave alone. I called the external recruiter and he said they contacted him for more candidates. Job hunting is literally chipping away at my soul, I just sit at home alone wasting my time playing video games. I lost all motivation to eat healthy or exercise, I don't have health insurance so I can't see a therapist or get on anti-depressants. I feel like I put in the time for an engineering degree and I have six years experience, it should not be this hard to find a job. I am willing and able to work it's just there is nothing out there for me. The world is ready to let me rot away and die alone. <cite>clearaflagrantj posted [p:926097394] in I'm about ...

DaveTheUseless 08/15/19 10:16:29 AM #9:	I'm also in job hunting mode (although I do have a part-time teaching gig, I'm trying to advance to a full-time position, or at least hold 2 part-times), and despite submitting over 40 applications I have not been invited to a single interview and I'm running out of time until the Fall semester. Of course, I'm probably losing out to people who already have doctorates (I'm just starting mine) or people with intensive private sector experience (I left the private sector in 2014 when I got my first prof position). Fun thing is that one of the colleges I applied to, for two different jobs, looked me up on LinkedIn last week but didn't reach out to me for an interview. l0l @ me --- www.youtube.com/davetheuseless Creepypasta Channel. twitter.com/davetheuseless DaveTheUseless Loves You. <cite>DaveTheUseless posted [p:926097578] in I'm about ...

I left high school completely ignorant of the job hunting process, and I spent way too much time fumbling around and feeling my soul chip away with every outright rejection or month/s without call backs. It's a fucking awful situation and I'm sorry that you're stuck in it, job hunting can suck a fat chode. But come on, don't give up on life. If nothing else, you have a community of people who recognise your name, people who are friendly and who like seeing you around.

No I have enough money to last like two years without an income. Holy crap! I'm barely living paycheck to paycheck with lot of debt (temporary, will pay off)and I live with my grandparents! How the hell!? Either way, keep at it. I have seen several people go through this on Twitter and personally. Hell, you've made it farther than most of my friends. Have money out the ass apparently, got a girlfriend, and family you clearly don't despise. You're doing better than you think.

Cleo_II 08/15/19 12:32:12 PM #49:	It sounds like youre doing the right things but I wonder what sort of responses you are giving that makes them cut the interview short. You also failed that behavioral survey and thats not a good sign of either. Are you being pessimistic in your interviews or speaking badly of your previous company? Also that second company sounds sexist af but people will keep pretending there is no discrimination against women in tech sigh [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Also this. My husband has gone through 2 layoffs. First time it took him a year to find something and it was a big cut in pay. Second took him 6 months. We survived and hes really happy at his current job. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:926102445] in I'm about ...
