Rant from an Unemployed Endpoint Engineer
Just a bit of a rant and call for help. Got laid off at my last job last year around this time worked as an Automation Endpoint Engineer (3 years of experience) at a big health insurance firm. Struggling to find work again. Just did a 6 round interview for a job and it was down to me and the last the candidate and I didn't get it.
I'm a bit hurt, this process hasn't been easy on me. It's mentally taxing and I feel sort of numb right now. Not sure how much more I can take. I got some good feedback but at the end of the day it's just not a great look. Recruiter was very nice but told me the gap is really rough to sell. I have a few things I have been doing to up skill including a program I joined. I just don't know anymore.
Like what am I supposed to do? These interviews are soul sucking, I just wanna make a living and work hard. Tried the city, tried the MTA, tried my connections, I tried it all but no call backs. I have my references and ducks in a row I just wish someone would give me a chance. This is just weighing heavily on me and my family. Anyways that's it for my midnight rant. Just felt like throwing that out there. If someone would help me that would be great but if not it is what it is. Life goes on....I guess.
