For the people who have been unemployed for longer than 3 months: are you considering a job that isn't ideal? I have tried it, and while it didn't work out, but things have calmed down a little on the personal front. Should I do that or keep freelancing, which is less money (but flexible)?

I got a rejection letter today that was actually personalized. It mentioned my specific portfolio pieces and thanked me for the conversation. It was such a shock to be treated like a human being that I almost wanted to email them back and ask them to hire me for a different role just because they were nice. Have you had any positive rejection experiences?

If you’ve been unemployed for a long time especially over a year, how have you honestly survived? Financially, mentally, emotionally because it’s not easy. I think people underestimate how much resilience it takes to keep going through uncertainty for that long. Share your real tips. Gigs? Support systems? Budgeting? Mindset shifts? Anything that genuinely helped you stay afloat.

Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. Job wise, I thought I found a job, only for them to pick someone else. Also when I finally thought I had everything lined up to try to work full time again, one of my parents dies this week. Have you ever thought you had it together, only to be surprised? Do you have any examples or stories?
