Feeling a bit bummed out. I never have felt the urge to vent. This year has been tough and I keep getting emails notifying me they’re going with another candidate. I have tried different resumes and learning new skills. Idk what to do. Any thoughts.

Can't blame you for venting! This job market is brutal. It sounds like you're doing what you can do, reworking the resume and doing some upskilling. All anyone can do in a time like this is stay persistent. There's a lot of competition to get jobs and you just have to keep your head in the game.

Honestly, the number of rejections we're all facing has got to be turning us into some of the most resilient people in the workforce. Are you making it to the interview stage at all or are you getting rejections just after applying?
