Very difficult. My previous company had to file for bankruptcy in March and I've been unemployed since then.

I've 16 years of experience in IT and applied to 27 jobs since March. 17 rejections, 8 didn't respond. With the 2 remaining jobs I'm in the final stage but there are other candidates and the companies can choose the best one, I don't have high hopes.

I feel horrible, it's really taxing on me, the waiting time between interviews, checking emails hoping to get an update just to get notified that people are on vacation, everything is delayed. The companies have multiple candidates to choose from, they are not in a hurry.

With your experience, 27 jobs may have usually been a lot. But it's not much nowadays. I have 3 years, and during my long search I applied to 27 new jobs like every 2 days
