I've been job hunting since June, which I reaize isn't long compared to some people, and I've gotten a few interviews, but no offers, and now I find it really hard to stay motivated, it just seems so futile.

I have sent out 100's of resumes applied to anything I was remotely qualified only to not even get a response most of the time.

My employment insurance runs out mid. Feb, after which I'll have to rely on my savings and see if I can pick up something in retail or fast food to supplement my savings while I look for something in finance / accounting.

I'm going to have to sell all my stuff, except for the bare minimum I want to keep, most of which I'll put into storage and move into a furnished room.

I feel like I'm going back 20 years.

I feel so demoralized.

The only good things are I'm taking some courses which might help. I'm taking quickbooks at a community college since I only know big ERP packages, but small and medium sized companies don't want that, and then I'm taking 3 Sat. day long workshops on Advanced Excel features, like macros, VBA, V-Lookups etc. that will all hopefully broaden the range of jobs I can apply to.

I'm just so tired and frustrated.

I've decided to take today, tomorrow, and the weekend off from job hunting - I need a break, and that will hopefully help me get into a better headspace.
