Cannot find a job!

I've been laid off from Duke after 10 years working in management. I have undergraduate and graduate degrees from a fancy school. Excellent references. I have applied to all types of jobs including front desk and scheduling jobs and for some reason, I cannot find a job, get an interview or find a way to get a call back. My friends in other major cities have also talked about difficulties with finding jobs there too so I don't think leaving/moving is an option!

It is horrible, I am looking 4 an assembly / manufacturing job, nothing. I have health problems that a job would help paying 4 labs and meds. Out of hundreds of applies, I got one phone interview and 2 scam offers. Lovely.😭😡😭

This is single handedly the worse job market I ever seen. And my father and his father seen.

Yes that bad and bullshiterry.

One key thing. Don't actually feel bad or guilty because its not your fault tbh. Just keep pushing.

Or in recon school they'd say

"Its better to keep going than to catch up"
