When I first got laid off I thought it would be chill to be on unemployment for a month or two, but now that I've applied for hundreds of jobs with just two interviews I'm starting to think I'll run out of money before I find a new gig

The job market is such dog shit right now. I don't even hear back from jobs I'm overqualified for, and almost every job I've applied to pays less than what I what I was making years ago. Love too see the savings I've carefully socked away for years go down the drain in a few months

    Took me 3 months to find one, I'm lucky to be living with a friend. Barely getting interviews, little in the way of follow-ups, for work I have years of experience in and I think I interview pretty well, when I can get one.

    I don't get it. No one wants to hire anymore. Good luck

      ty. Reminds me a lot of the time after the Great Recession when every business was running on absolute skeleton teams and refused to hire more workers
