I'm starting to lose my confidence

I'm not doing too well finding a job. Actually I've found lots of jobs but none of them have hired me. I was confident for so long. I'd do my interviews with motivation knowing I have the skills they want, but then nothing. I'm starting to wonder whats wrong with me. In all honesty though I must be lacking in how I'm going about getting a job. I'm 41 and I can count on one hand all the jobs I've ever had. I didn't really have to put much effort out to get them. I think I just need to adjust to the reality that its going to take more strategy and job search skills to get employed.

You might be tempted to play "reverse psychology" to make it look like you aren't too desperate. It will be used against u.

Best thing is to be fiercely sure what you want. Know yourself, you will be sorry if you don't cause your self-ignorance will be used against you.

The economy will be more humane when we plan for it. Meanwhile plan to succeed your way but make sure it happens.
