Likely after 2024 elections results sadly
I feel you too. Wake up at 730-coffee-pyjamas-check emails-rejection at 3am-lose the motivation to apply-break down in tears-walk into an interview to be humiliated-repeat-no weekends because I can’t enjoy them-Monday cycles start all over again
I completely understand. I feel the same way.
I have decided to just sit on government assistance for now. I’m too burnt out to continue job searching right now.
Honestly I don’t know when it will end. But you may need to take some time for yourself to heal and get your strength back. Self care is very important
There are too many people, less positions
Please take a break. Recharge. I’m so sorry this isn’t working but it eventually does.
They’re holding job fairs again in some areas, like they did back in the 90’s. May not be work you’re used to doing but if you gotta pay bills? You gotta go with the jobs available to you.
There’s some in manufacturing, home hospice, non profits. It’s very weird to expand your horizons but you may have to
I promise that you are not alone. This sub has been so supportive for me too. I feel like there’s no end in sight. I’m so over it. I have a phone interview today and I don’t even care. I’m not even in the damn mood to discuss my three strengths and weaknesses
Spend 35+ hrs a week looking for a job for over a year, just to get a shitty job offer (You end up finding out the job is toxic af) and then feel like we should be thankful (because thats what the system teaches us to think), yet we start the job and have no energy to even do it because were so burnt out from wasting the last year of our lives looking for one. The American job system is broken, among many other things. All we want to do is live life and produce at a place that runs semi efficiently. Yet, that seems to be hard to find.
500 is low. Over the years I’ve applied to at least 3/4 a million!
> I feel anger, sad, and I’m desensitized. I feel dissociation, I feel like I’m a shell of my former self.
The only three feelings I have anymore are anger, completely dead inside neutrality going through the motions where I feel like at best a slothful puppet being slowly moved by strings, and wanting to make dumb jokes.
i’ve given up, too, so many, many times. i’ve even tried to kill myself more than once. reached out for support until people were sick of me. they eventually had the gall to blame me for being unemployable.
still here tho. broken, yet trying to make something work AGAIN, after switching gears with each failure. i know it’s hard. especially when you see others succeed and wonder why not you. i’ve got no words of inspiration. there aren’t any.
that’s why this sub’s called recruiting hell. just know you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.
It’s truly brutal out there. It really doesn’t help that a lot of top tech firms still keep on laying off and applicant pools are filled with 1000+ candidates. I’d recommend taking a break if you can.
I completely understand. I’m right there with you.
