If you don't mind me asking, how hard was it to find a job after being away for that long? I graduated from university 2 years ago, but I haven't sent out even a single resume or job application. In a couple of weeks, I (also being 24) will be having my first appointment with a psychiatrist. I suspect that within the next several months I will be attempting a job search, but I am worried that having such a large gap will make the process rather difficult.

I graduated from university 2 years ago, but I haven't sent out even a single resume or job application. In a couple of weeks, I (also being 24) Ugh, same here. I've scraped by on a small-time one-man startup that just barely pays the rent. (as is seeing declining revenues). Trying to muster up what it takes to apply for a job. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I'm fine dancing at a club or giving a presentation in front of hundreds, I'm not shy in that way, but I'm afraid of picking up a phone and making a call to a recruiter (hell to a store to ask if they're open). And I'm scared of putting myself out there, sending my CV, or hell even worse, getting the job and failing. I've got no clue what the hell is up with me, and I can't find any motivation. But yeah same here, 24, 2 years out of uni, never sent out an application since. Let me know, if you'd like, how your meeting goes. Good luck!
