I got laid off in March.
I'm unemployed for the first time in my adult life.
I've done everything to get a new job, but nothing yet.
Tell me how long it took you to get a job after being laid off to give me some hope
Transcript
And my unemployment ran out this week. Financially, we’re fine, but I am craving work. I have applied to close to 100 jobs that have all had hundreds of applicants. Over half of those jobs, I’d consider myself over-qualified for (I used to be in an executive manager position and I’m applying to administrative assistant roles). Is there any hope? #unemployed #laidoff #jobsearch #losinghope #unemploymentstories
