They say the Economy is okay. I beg to differ.

I was laid off from my job. Ive been looking for 4 months. A few interviews here and there but it gets hard to get rejection letter after rejection letter. Im going through job agencies and Indeed etc. There arent many jobs and when you apply you are against lots of other applicants applying. Im older and I think there is also job discrimination. Just feeling discouraged 😞

I don't think it's fully down to the economy as a whole being bad; the recruiting process, specifically is fucked. A lot of companies have positions they don't even want to fill, and for those that do, finding a bajillion applicants somewhere like Indeed is all too easy. You're expected to spend like 9 hours a day scattershot sending your resume and cover letter to hundreds of companies. It's maddening.

Hope you find something soon, I don't envy you one bit.
