Does anyone have any job search wins or even some slightly positive news? I'm starting to get super depressed. I've been looking for a job for almost six weeks. It's starting to get more and more difficult to find the motivation to wake up each morning and start my job hunt for the day.

Six weeks is a hot minute when it comes to job searching. This is your new job, treat it like one. Have a start and an end time each day, and be kind to yourself always. Good luck!

Thought I had something real good went through 8 rounds over 6 months for the company to just hire from within the organization. Meanwhile entire time was good feedback and nothing indicating wanting other folks much less internal. Sorry I know not positive but have seen folks get hired just a grind and mostly networking/ referral got them the job.

Very true and insightful! Congratulations on your 30 years! Thank you, it’s okay. I felt truly defeated after hearing but still happy to figure out the next endeavor whatever it may be.

You have been unemployed for only 6 weeks? Compared to many you are very new to being unemployed.
With my current bout of unemployment, I have been looking since January 1 and have had a few phone / virtual screens that led to interviews. This week alone, I have had 5 phone / virtual screens which led to one virtual interview.
I would make sure that your resume / application can make it through the AI/ ATS that companies use, network, and look for anything / anywhere regardless of if it remote, hybrid, or in office since we are dealing with a bad job market and economy.

How are things looking for you now my friend? Any good news?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
