[quote=Anonymous]It's horrible. My husband was laid off in September, he has networked consistently (many of his contacts are currently laying off workers), keeps applying to anything even remotely reasonable and keeps hitting dead ends. He's an awesome guy and great at what he does (software developer) but he's an introvert and the interview process really rattles his nerves. They keep picking the other guy after multiple interviews rounds.

We were doing so well and had built up a nice nest egg for ourselves with dreams of an early-ish retirement, maybe 6-8 more years for him at his previous salary. Our kids are still young and our retirement plans are disappearing before our eyes each month that goes by. I scrambled to get a new job with better benefits and better pay but I'm still grieving the dream job I had to leave. I feel terrible for him and everyday I hope that a job offer with finally materialize but he's barely even getting interviews at this point. We're both mentally and physically exhausted and it sucks to go into the holidays this way. [/quote]
