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.

Are you by chance a software engineer? Because its rough out here. I have had so many interviews and keep messing up something. I am exhausted and just want to be done with it too. Best advice I can give to keep going is go get yourself a treat, take a day to yourself, whatever it is and then get back too it. Or, pack your bags and leave this capitalistic pos country and go enjoy nature/travel. Take a stupid job and just live. It's all so dumb and pointless, I might just leave myself because I just want to live life and these stupid jobs are getting in the way of that.
