    Are you me? Been out of a job for over a year. The IT industry fucking sucks right now. Only got one interview for an entry level job, and it was obvious to me and the interviewer that I was overqualified for the position. And that was LAST July.

      That sucks so much and I’m sorry to hear that. Feels like the job market is “good” about a tenth of the time and it’s terrible and “It’s rough out there” for the remaining majority.

      A relative of mine is a nurse and has been out of a job for many months. That blows my mind!

      Feels like a major indicator of a crumbling empire and trashed economy when IT and medical professionals aren’t getting work or callbacks. Holy cow.

      I am going on 18 months. I have had 2 interviews. You are right, this is the worst job market I have had to participate in in the 15 years I have been working.
