I can only say that my experience seems to mirror your own. There only seems to be a very selective place where opportunities live. The prospects of building a life for many seem to be a dream of the past. I wish you the absolute best and hope for a turnaround for us all.

Don’t people realize that the knowledge and wisdom of the older generations are invaluable to teaching the younger generations everything they need to know about the job? Old and young working together is what helps teams succeed.

I feel you. I’ve had similar experiences. I’ve been out of work since 2012 and when I have had interviews the potential employer makes me feel so antiquated. It feels all the years of working experience has now disintegrated.

One year and counting,
You asked if anyone was listening, and let me tell you…YES. While I can’t offer much, I can affirm that you are not alone. Unemployment feels so isolating, doesn’t it? The world seems to just pass by, while our mind fills with despair and lies. These lies are not the truth, and a job does not define who we are. Hang on. You have worth. You are valued and loved by God, above all else. I hear you, One Year; unemployment is so full of darkness. But, I pray that you keep fighting.

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. he will not leave you or forsake you.- Deuteronomy 31:6
