As a Black Middle Aged Man!

I’m starting to think my race is the issue of me not being able to land a job in this current market!

I’ve been on the market with all the qualifications for 8 months now prove me wrong I’m also interviewing so again prove me otherwise!

Your feelings are valid. This job market is so tough. I hope you're able to stay positive and continue to push through it. It's a mental game of perseverance.

It’s a tough job market for everyone. Ive seen people with masters degrees with cpa and cfa and can’t find a single offer for over a year.
