I’ve been unemployed for some time now. Think I’m getting ghosted after 3 months of interviews with one place and 6 months of getting strung along at another. I’m just sad, that is all :(

freedom doesn't pay the bills tho, unfortunately.

this is annoying advice, but it is very important not to get down on yourself, because that will turn into a self fulfilling prophecy. what have you done to boost your self esteem lately? do more of it. volunteer. do work for a non profit. find a way to maintain energy and enthusiasm, so that you have positivity to transmit when you interview.

hang in there. it sucks, but it's not forever.

Thank you.

Stay positive. It will work out. It always does. And you will be stronger having gone through the trial. 👊🏻🔥❤️

same boat here and empathize. close to 6 months now and so much false hope and jobs I really thought I was going to get to the point where people were saying to look forward to working with me soon and still zilch. Stay hopeful and keep remembering your talent and skills, you've been successfully employed before, it'll happen again.

For real enjoy your time when will you have this luxury again? Although I’m sure it doesn’t seem like it. Also take care of yourself during the day plan stuff that’s fun like volunteering or things you’d never typically try

Summer 2018, I was in the same spot. Ghosted constantly, yearning for a job, spending my afternoons working out and reading in East Village parks. Now I’m employed...and reminiscing of my jobless summer. You’ll get yours...and then miss the freedom you have today
