Totally relatable but, to quote my wonderful grandmother, peace be upon her, "show me the body", i.e., no panicking without evidence. Easier said than done of course but I think of her saying that to me sometimes and it can be helpful. I hope it helps you a little.

Congratulations. I’m exactly 14 months since my last paycheck from my previous job. Hoping to see a similar reversal of fortunes

Two years, and I'm still jobless. My confidence has tanked to the point that I'm afraid of applying...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It sucks out there. My only real advice is to keep applying and try to keep your chin up stalin-heart
