  • I know exactly how you feel. Last summer by the time I found a new job I hadn't been working for 4 months. Until that summer I honestly thought I was pretty invincible, and a desirable job candidate. But no, sadly not.

    It got to me too. I'm not really sure how to tell you to not let it get to you, because it does regardless. What I suggest though is to find a project (heck, come hack on AxKit!). Hacking (and a supportive wife) is the only thing that got me through it.

    Oh, that and moving 400 miles away to

      I feel your pain -- been out of work since 8/1/2001 -- and still looking... I find I go thru cycles -- phone screens, emails, and interviews, then nothing, lather, rinse, repeat.... It used to take me 2 weeks to find a new job - and this is driving me crazy -- going on 6 months now....
      • Well, my last paid day was Sep 20, 2001 so I guess it could be worse. :-( I understand that cycle well. Unfortunately I'm married & therefore have much higher living expenses (no roomies). Even with unemployment, I'm just barely getting by. My landlord is going to move for eviction soon if I don't give him some money...

        The whole situation is just driving me crazy. I want to work!
