I am definitely feeling anxiety the past couple of days over my job situation. Last week I received rejection letters without interview for a couple of positions I assumed I would be well qualified for. What is the point of acquiring all this knowledge if it is so hard to find a way to utilize it?
I realize many of my peers are in the same boat, and I feel for all of them. It is tough out there, and it is not getting any easier. I am lucky to have amazing people around me to give me support. Next year appears to be another year of temporary contracts, though.
