I applied to more than 12,500 jobs and now I sleep outside. I apply to more than 25 jobs on most days.
Some applications I tailor to the job.
And some applications I just send the regular version and that's it.
I have more than 22 years of experience as a systems engineer / Windows server / endpoint support engineer.
Hyper-V and Microsoft certs, networking stuff, and some other things.
I paid money to resume writers.
Nothing changed.
Now I have 12 different versions of my resume.
20 months of trying nonstop.
I lost my place.
Everything is gone. The truck, my stuff, everything.
I have a laptop, a phone, a few T-shirts, one pair of jeans, and one pair of sweatpants. Four pairs of underwear.
A toiletry bag.
Even when I get a recruiter screen, it's hard to act normal on Zoom when I have no private place, because you are literally living on the street in front of people.
Housing and homeless assistance in my county and the county next to it aren't taking "new cases."
If your luck turns against you in the USA right now, get ready. Nobody is coming to save you.
