I have been on the job market for 3 years now. What am I doing wrong? I apply to jobs, I make it as far as an interview for only a fraction of jobs applied to and so far nothing has stuck yet. All my jobs to date has been my referral. I have worked my resume several times to improve it. I don't know what else to do.

OP - what’s Guidehouse like these days? Especially post acquiring GT.

Also if you are open to going to a smaller firm ~200, DM me with what you are looking for.

I really haven't felt a difference with the GT acquisition. For better or for worse. Either it's going swimmingly or so bad that no one is talking about it internally.

Could it be that you have good experience and skills but not good at intervieweing?

If thats the case I would suggest do several mock interviews
Before your next interview get some experienced trusted friends to help by doing a mock interview with you.

Also have others review your resume and to an extent make it job specific.

Luckily I have not had to be interviewed in over 10 years but I will be horrible.

US citizen. Can't imagine going through this on a visa though. It sucks.

Hard part for me has been getting interviews. Once I get them I always make it far. But landing the contact is tough. No idea how others get so many.

Me too buddy, don’t lose hope. Just landed an interview that might have legs. They come when you least expect it

I hope so. Hope your interview goes well too.

Talk to an HR external coach. Not sure what your challenge might be, but if it's your interview style they should be able to give you good feedback

Not happy at GH? Have your been here the whole 3 years?

Yes, I have.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
