[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tomorrow would be 5 weeks unemployed.

So far 33 Applications total (1 internal referral, 4 recruiters) - 3 rejections
6 interviews, 2 rejections, 4 still considering

Internal referral was made 1st day of being laid off.  No response yet. This internal referral would be my top tier choice.
I had a pretty good interview today, decent firm.
I have had a long standing offer for past 2 years to return to my pre-pandemic company. In the interest of maintaining career trajectory, I have to continue turning it down.

Health insurance runs out at end of this month.  Looking at state sponsored health insurance after that and it is making me very anxious and sad for my kids. Wah!

OP had a great outcome, congrats to her.  I need her mojo badly.

Follow up to the above -
11 weeks unemployed now.
36 applications total 
7 screened calls, 8 interviews, 5 rejections, 3 offers I turned down (after interviews, realized it wasn't right fit)

One position's had 3 interviews with me already.
1st choice firm still hasn't made a decision.
Two interviews, tomorrow and Wednesday.  Tomorrow's interview would be 2nd choice firm.
Wednesday is a temp position from recruiter so not a real job, just a filler for now.
I have been too picky, there are only a handful of companies I really want to work for.

So in the meantime I've been doing long ignored home repairs so increased my real estate equity by at least 10-20K in this fallow season.
My kid got into her fully funded gap year program so most everything else in life is doing well. Trying to stay positive! Urghhhhh.[/quote]

Poster above - recruiter secured me a freelance position at the 2nd choice firm starting Monday. No benefits.
Trying to organize a coffee with a division head at 1st choice firm.
Had a very good interview with 3rd choice firm. 
Things are hopeful.  Good luck to everyone searching.  There will be days where things feel low but keep chugging along.[/quote]
