I (F34) got let go from my last position because there wasn't work for me. I've had 10 years of marketing experience and I've applied to 76 jobs so far and gotten 13 interviews, out of those 13 interviews four of them went to the next round. Am I just really bad at interviewing or something? I don't understand why it's so hard to find a job. I don't think I'm asking for the world. I'm only asking for 60,000 a year and a marketing position in the mid-level range. I have a lot of experience so maybe it's my interpersonal relationship skills? I don't know what to do or where to go. I've been applying on indeed and I'm working with a few recruitment companies. I know that 3M and Target let go of a lot of people, so I'm also assuming that a lot of it has to do with how many people are applying to these positions as well (I live in MN). I've just never had such a hard time not getting to the next round of interviews.
Also, my brother died two weeks ago so I put a stop in finding a job because I'm not in the mental headspace to even have an interview. The last interview was yesterday and it was a disaster. So on top of not having a job and losing my best friend and my brother, I'm super depressed.
Sorry for my tangent. I'm just feeling overwhelmed and super deflated.
