I share so much with this it’s scary. If this was about Chicago and not Austin I would have assumed I submitted this while blacked out. I had a job after college and was one of many people laid off at my company last fall, and have been in the same turmoil since. I do the same thing everyday when I see everyone heading to work while I’m sending in apps and preparing for more interviews, just to get told no once again. I too have had tons of referrals from friends, family and former co-workers that have resulted in months of dialogue with a company and multiple interviews just to have to start all over again with another. For those that are employed and saying that you must be less qualified or not doing as much as you think, I think that sentiment is either ignorant, arrogant, or possibly both. I’ve met a lot of people along the way that are completely incompetent morons and somehow have a good job. Just how the world works sometimes.
