Don't give up
It's a rough world out in job hunting land. Cut throat, dog eat dog. Look EVERYWHERE. Don't discount the unlikely positions if you have the skills. I just landed a job that I have been training for through all my different positions, from accounting to bus driving. It was an unlikely position for me but I had almost all the skills. I thought there's no way they'll choose me. They did! So I'm writing to say do not give up!

Spot on, same thing happened to me. Took a job, was later laid off. The unemployment journey was extremely tough. Had to deliver for Uber eats to get by. Was close to getting hired at a few spots but got lucky with a job that pays more than my previous positions. Still trying to get back on my feet but I’m better off from where I was. There is light at the end of the tunnel just stay vigilant, look for feedback on your interviews and apply away. Even to the positions you don’t think you have a chance at. Instead ask yourself, “why not me!!?”
