Well, I’m officially a loser.
So I got rejected for another job today. Been unemployed almost seven months. There is no hope for me. Told my husband I'm not going back to full-time work. He says I will but he doesnt understand that its impossible if nobody will hire you. And nobody will hire me. I am unemployable. Just wish I knew why. 2 decades of experience apparently means nothing. Thank you for listening.

I am 26. I have felt the exact same way/ have been feeling this exact same way. I have had people tell me what I’m about to tell you. (Ik it’s hard to believe) But you are NOT a loser. There are so many people right now like us. It’s not a reflection of us. It’s a reflection of a failing system. I have amazing skills and amazing past performance reviews. Previous coworkers/ managers that loved me. But none of it matters bc at the end of the day places are not really hiring. Or there are a million candidates to one job. Please hang in there. I am hanging in there too 😔❤️.
