I think I’m screwed.

I can’t get interviews anymore. Every now and then I get one and it goes nowhere, and I almost never make it past the first round. My LinkedIn profile views now show mostly as “salespeople” instead of recruiters.

I’ve lost a lot of money thanks to emergency expenses that happened towards the beginning and have been steadily bleeding my savings through general cost of living. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to keep it up, but at this point I’m pretty much convinced I’ll run out of money before I can get a new job.

Can you please share what is the main reason you believe you're getting rejected or passed on?
Not really for the interviews. I can definitely recognize some mistakes during most of them, but nothing really common to all them.

If I had to guess, I imagine that in this market, there are just a lot of other people seeking work with much more impressive resumes.
