I feel like I’m grasping at thin air.

I’ve applied to countless jobs and I’m not even getting to the interview stage on anything. Even on things I feel I’m beyond qualified for. My background is in desktop support. If no one will hire me I thought of trying to wing it myself and put fliers up offering tech support.

I never finished college. So I don’t have any degree aside from highschool. My prospects are looking and feeling bleak.

What would you do if you were me Lemmy?

    Are you currently working? If not, register as a sole proprietor and become “self employed”. Even if only for the sake of having a job on your resume.

    Good luck. It’s tough out there ❤️

        I spoke with a career coach after I was laid off and she would end her sessions with, “there’s a place for you somewhere, and whoever gets you wins.”

        If it doesn’t resonate, feel free to ignore… I wanted to share what felt comforting to me, but we all have different journeys ❤️
