None The Less, He Persisted... - JustinTime18™ - 08-30-2017
All it took was FIVE F@CKING MONTHS, but I've got a job in my field again (IT Business Analyst)! Job market in Florida is just brutal, this was only the second position in SEVEN FREAKING YEARS that I interviewed for that was a direct hire and not a contract...
It's been just exhausting mentally...for anyone going through a tough time, try to stay positive...My mantra was "you're a day closer to this being over"...And "I've survived 100%of the difficult times in my life, including two battles with cancer, you can survive this"...
Be strong, be resilient, and persist...

Hard to believe 1,000 people move here each month for below avg pay. If it's a labor job pay is about half what you can get in other states. Even our type of salaried jobs are well below market as you know. Just tough.
I am lucky and have a work from home tech job.

Congrats BarrNone, went thru similar grueling job search saga several years ago. Glad you finally landed one, hopefully it will work for you like mine did.

Congratulations! I know what a relief it is to finally get real work again. I spent four years living on a smattering of unemployment, underemployment and contract work before landing a job at full salary in 2014.
