I went for 18 months without a job once, between 2008 and 2010. Worst experience of my life. I had been to so many interviews and had gotten rejected so many times that I had just started going through the motions and expecting the same results. Nothing.
In fact I was so disillusioned by the time I got my current job that my interview for it was like the “two Bobs” meeting in Office Space. I was openly candid about everything, and acted like I didn’t give a fuck if I got the job or not. I’m still working there ten years later.
It all boils down to making them think that they need you more than you need them.
Good luck, it does get better eventually! You just gotta have faith.
That sucks man.
