My condolences to hear that your confidence is broken.

The previous time I was unemployed, I got rejected 7 times in a row. I found my humility and accepted a job doing PHP for a bunch of bullies at my career starting salary.

This time I started out with pretty low hopes, but lined up 5 interviews in a week, went with the first offer in two days, and changed my mind with the second offer after one more day, ticking more boxes. I needed people to tell me I was aiming too low, because of bad memory.

I’m trying to say, I was pretty broken the last time, and my confidence turned me into a job repellant. I hope you get paid soon, so you can heal your confidence. The bad voices turn this into being about something it’s not.
