What do I do when no one will hire me after months?

Months of silence can convince you that the problem is you, that something is broken and everyone can see it but you. That story feels true because it hurts, but it is not the truth. A long dry stretch is common, especially now, and it says far more about the market than about your worth. Still, feeling stuck is a signal to change something, not to try harder at the same thing. If the applications keep vanishing, the path in may not be the front door. Most jobs get filled through people, not portals. A person who can vouch for you moves you past the pile. This week, reach out to one human being who has seen you work, and simply tell them you are looking. Not a pitch, just honesty. One real conversation can do what a hundred cold applications cannot. You are not unhireable. You are one connection away from being seen.
