I have now been unemployed on and off again for about a year and half when Benny and I decided to quit our jobs in New York City and move across the country to LA. Benny miraculously found a job prior to our arrival in LA but a year and a half later I am still struggling. I'm a fabulous employee, how come people do want to hire me? I haven't even received a single call for an interview! Is there anything more depressing than unemployment?
I dread meeting new people who are bound to ask, "so what do you do?". I've become an expert on changing the topic and vague answers. It seems like everyone around me has found their passion and I've been left behind. It feels like there is no end in sight and with my 30th birthday looming just 2 months away, this may just be the most depressed I've ever been.
