Good advice and Congratulations!!!!
Congrats
Good luck it’s good and also hard not to give up; keep the good spirit
After a few hundred applications, I gave up, went self-employed. It’s the only way.
Congratulations, good sir, and good job surviving unemployment 🙂 On your last advice: did you yourself have to retrain/did retraining play a role in you landing a job?
Seems an awful small number of interviews, especially given the quite specialist position. And the relatively small number of applications.
congrats!!
re: alcohol abuse; after a few months, i decided to quit drinking until i get a job. it’s not been bad at all (the not drinking part, not the unemployment part) and gives a bit of something to look forward to in addition to a paycheck.
Congratulations!! I’m graduating in HCI and very struggling to even land an internship. The market for designers is very tough, you gave me some hope that it might work eventually
