I was unemployed for 8 months and only had a little bit of work from my clients to attempt to make ends meet during that time. I was very busy with a huge project and passed most of my clients off to colleagues in 2 years prior. I applied for over 500 jobs and got ghosted by most. Got over a hundred rejection letters. Only 3 interviews. The first 2 ghosted me after making me meet everyone in the company and giving me tours of the facilities. I recently made a new business partner while interviewing for a position in a company that was just all sorts of wrong. The office manager listed for marketing but the guy wanted salespeople. We ended up hitting it off and now we're working on setting up a few new businesses together. Worked out great. Hopefully I can start hiring some teams, soon, and get some jobs out on the market.
