You'll sail through. All the best. This is just a phase. In your long career of 15-20 years, this 8 month break won't matter.

And you….joined the circus to make ends meet?

I have been unemployed for one year as of today. It has been very hard. I have had a career since 1993. I have always been a top producer and had good relationships with employers/co-workers. I have applied for so many jobs in my field. I am older. I don’t think that is the main issue tho, as I see people 25 to 50 having a hard time finding work. I ended up having to retire. Unfortunately.

I was laid off May of last year. I have had only one interview and it was to sell insurance. Going to peoples homes. No thanks! It has been very hard on me financially. I had to retire early and am trying very hard to find a part time job. So far, nothing.

Chronically unemployed as well. Still trying.

I have just graduated high-school and I have 3 disabilities so technically I'm unemployed since I used to do construction my whole life as a kid.
