Job hunting is one of the most frustrating things in the world. I hate the phrase "we are looking for the right fit". When I would hear that my immediate thought would be "I guess that means I am out of the running". I never received a job offer after being told that. It is easy to feel like a failure, especially if you have been through this situation before. You see people with jobs and holding them for years. The first thought you have is "why can't that be me". I have said many times that I am always congratulating people on their success. Why can't people be congratulating me?
You are not a failure. You are trapped by circumstance. It is not your fault. It is easy to come up with a long list of reasons why you are a failure. I do that all of the time. In hindsight we are all millionaires. Sometimes all you can do is to ride through the situation. You can do that. It is hard, but you can.
