    A year ago I got laid off and it took me 6 months to find a job… and I am very skilled and have a lot of high quality experience in my field. It was brutal. As you said 4 times in those 6 months I got all the way to the last interview only to be told they went with an internal candidate.

    Hard out there – fortunately I finally landed something and I am just happy to be employed in this environment

      Exactly the same story here. 6 months. Literally the last week of unemployment checks. I’m making less than before, but the job is a lot easier here and it’s wfh instead of an office.

      I hope you got lucky and found a decent place. Keep your head down.
