You will find work. One thing to keep in mind is the job market goes in cycles. Right now, finding work is hard but things will eventually pick up. Here is some advice for job hunting:
1) DO NOT GIVE UP
2) You don't need every skill the employer is asking for. What you need are the major skills the job requires and the ability to pickup the rest on the job.
3) Only apply for jobs where you are a good fit.
4) While job hunting, spend time each day learning a new skill. It can be a programming language, a technology, or something interesting.
5) Once you get a job, save lots of money. It helps you make it through lean times and sets you up for a nice retirement.
One last thing. If your depression does not let up after 6 months, I strongly recommend seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. I wish you luck. Things will get better.
- hilux 2y agoIn the US, any good therapist is very expensive and not covered by insurance.
- Schiendelman 2y agoThis isn't true. Honestly every time I've looked, a therapist taking my typical insurance just took making about 50 phone calls. Most people make five phone calls and then give up.
- em-bee 2y ago"just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. sure, 5 calls may be giving up to early. but 50? if i give up after 40 calls does that mean i haven't been trying hard enough?
- hilux 2y agoThere's a reason I said "good therapist." That's completely different from "any licensed therapist." You're just proving my point - you had to make 50 calls to reach "any licensed therapist" covered by your insurance. Why do you think the other 49 weren't in-network? It's because, if they're good, they can make much more out-of-network, direct billing patients.
