Unemployed Need Not Apply

So I just spent the past two hours writing a letter to someone that I'm not even sure is going to read the whole thing, but in spite of that it was extremely therapeutic.

that blockbuster quote is chilling. I wonder how many of those I've failed.
I have a hard time too, recognizing the questions in their inverse forms to answer properly. Plus, I read too much inter the questions, so when I see them again in subtly different forms, I may answer slightly differently b/c I have been thinking it over since the other time.

I agree with sandor_baci, this is very articulate.

My only advice is this: see if you can find some place you can volunteer at while you're looking for work. That way, even if you have to wait for a while before finding a job given this obscene job market, you'll still have something you can put on your resume in the mean time. It's not as ideal as a job would be, of course, but it's a step in the right direction, and hopefully it would keep your spirits up - that was the hardest thing for me when I was job hunting, staying positive, and volunteering helped me do that.
