Good Afternoon!

I realized last summer that my time at my most recent employer was coming to an end. I have been looking for a new role ever since, intensifying my search over the last 4 months or so. I had 3 good interviews with a company in November with the last one discussing projects that I would be working on etc. Then radio silence. I am really starting to doubt my value. I have 45-50 applications out there, I don't believe in panic applying, so I am only applying for roles

(Continued) That I actually want. I feel like I am wasting my time as I have gone from getting the occasional rejection letter to radio silence.

Today I was relieved of my current position so now I have to ratchet up my job search so I can continue to keep food on my families table. Does any one have any advice on the job search? Is handing out resumes with cash stapled to them an option?

Sounds about right. I think I'm up to 300.

Honestly it may take more applications than that. I have friends who have been applying and have hundreds of applications in and still haven't been able to find anything. This is a tough time to be looking for a new role.
