There is an "urge" in many humans to be a part of something. I'm one of those humans. Since being let go from my job, I've felt a bit lost. I'm entering the "I'm worthless" phase. Does anyone have any pointers for getting a company to look at your resume? Pointers for getting a company to look at your resume when you are as old as I am? I've been unemployed for nearly 4 months and have only had one interview (I've sent out nearly 100 resumes). I'm honestly not sure where to go from here.

@cmccullough I've heard from a few people that #FediHire has been useful to them. It's not as powerful as the network effect of some social media sites, and I hope that will change

@cmccullough and to note, you aren't worthless! You are a loved human being who deserves to be happy and fulfilled 💜

@cmccullough, living in another country, I cannot have information about the possibilities in yours, I can only encourage you and share your post, in case anyone has some ideas.
Don't lose your self-esteem, this would be the worst thing you can do.
Cheer up

Chad, I feel you. I decided to change my entire career focus at 48.
Despite my skills and a well written resume I couldn’t get my number on anyone’s list.
Months went by.

My ego took a huge hit.

Any interview I managed to get I was overqualified for.

The feelings of being non-employable beat at my brain.

You’ll find something, or something will find you. 🌻🌻
