I was laid off last December and have been actively searching for remote roles ever since, but no luck. It’s been 9 months now, and honestly, I’m exhausted by the whole situation. I just keep praying to God that I’ll land something soon, anything at this point.....I will take it! My CV is solid, and I’ve been tailoring it for every job I apply to, but still nothing has come through.

I hear you. Nine months of nonstop applications can crush anyone’s motivation. The effort you’re putting in matters—it’s just a matter of the right opportunity clicking. Keep pushing; something will land.

Good luck. Try the unemployment bowl with any questions. There are several people there to give you good tips.

Open your availability. Tailor your CVC as well as cover letter for each application. Learn to better live as hard as it IS to live more within your means. No one speaks here about being at jobs where any and all will and are waiting to throw you under the bus.
You can find yourself in far dire circumstances taking any first offer. Knowing what you want, what you like to do helps. Most people reading and posting here are essentially in the same situation so know I'm not judging nor passing judgement. You could be of the older work force, the disabled workforce, the displaced -....if something is not "working" try some introspection to align with what that employer is seeking not a "one size fits all" approach, -lotsa luck to us all.

Thanks in advance!

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ? Vendors keep on asking to join on W2 rather that Corp to Corp although for employees on H1B we cannot join on W2 due to immigration issues. Point being does it matter for end client , if the contractor is coming as W2 or not ?
