When I first got laid off I thought it would be chill to be on unemployment for a month or two, but now that I’ve applied for hundreds of jobs with just two interviews I’m starting to think I’ll run out of money before I find a new gig
The job market is such dog shit right now. I don’t even hear back from jobs I’m overqualified for, and almost every job I’ve applied to pays less than what I what I was making years ago. Love too see the savings I’ve carefully socked away for years go down the drain in a few months
Yeah I apply for jobs Mon - Fri and I’ve also been studying new shit for my so-called career. That’s on top of working part time at a warehouse (I’m allowed a certain number of hours while collecting unemployment benefits, and a friend of mine hooked me up with the temp work he knew about there)
An acquaintance of mine asked what kind of traveling I had done to enjoy my time off and I was just like “???”
