7 months deep, hundreds of applications, blah blah, so to answer your question, for the most part people in this particular situation don't write public stories about it. 1) It can feel like it will sabotage your chances even if it raises awareness of your situation. Firstly because you cannot help but "call out" some of the hiring practices/people, and secondly because, well, must be something wrong with you if no one is snapping you up, right? Which leads into... 2) A lot of really obnoxious folks like to pounce on this and "blame the victim", and then reference stuff like this post to show how "it must be your fault", etc, and "ain't nobody got time for that". It's hard enough to deal with impostor syndrome kicking the brains in without inviting the mob to kick as well. 3) It's depressing to think about it, much less to write all that down where it becomes an objective thing that cannot be ignored. Especially if you've tracked everything in detail (I have). Much more pleasant to sell off your belongings and pretend you're just embracing minimalism and forget about it. 4) Feels a lot like begging, and there are many complicated reasons why people mostly don't like to do that.
