To all who previously replied thank you - your encouragement and letting me know I’m not alone meant a lot.

I would also like to mention one individual offered to send a few dollars my way, and that’s more than I could’ve ever hoped for. It helped me get some groceries and gas, so THANK YOU.

In reference to applying at 2000+ jobs and not being employed, I didn’t mean to indicate I had NO response. I had many false starts, jobs where I went through multiple interview rounds, or jobs that just weren’t feasible (i.e 100+ miles away on-site). Particularly, I keep finding situations where I’m contacted by a company, asked to do a phone interview, then when I reply (usually within a few hours if not immediately) to schedule a time they just ghost me.

I did take up the offers to look over my resume via DM, but no one replied funny enough.

On to mental health - I’m better than I was. I still feel utterly hopeless, but maybe a bit less so ya know? My thoughts are… Difficult at times, but I keep moving forward as best I can.

All this to say thank you. I got more response than I ever expected, and I appreciated every one and I read them all. I hope you all have a good day, and keep pushing forward.

    Good tips, I think that I tend towards a mix of what I was responsible for and the accomplishments I made. But I might be too much one way than the other.

    Something I struggle with is keeping it brief enough to not end up with a 4 page resume, while also getting in those keywords and tools and such that ATS systems are looking for.
