I am looking for a job and finding it difficult to get one. 

I have a gap on my resume and worried about explaining it

I often google “resume gap”.

I don’t have any references.

I am not sure what my references are saying about me.

When an interview goes well, I worry that the company will call my last employer.

I stretch work history dates and hope they won’t check

The resume experts all say the same things and none of it works.

My work history forces me to take jobs beneath my capabilities.

I got fired for no reason and was the best employee there.

My block lists are getting longer.

I often go dark on LinkedIn.

I have considered living in an RV, boat or with family.

I feel I have done everything the right way and yet, here I am.

What’s the point, I give up!
