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

I have been unemployed in the past for over 6 months. I find it takes at least a month to even begin to gain traction and then its a slog. worst job in the world is looking for a job. I to hate having my savings drain away. I used to sub high school and that helped mitigate it a bit but that has become to annoying to apply to now.
