... feeling like you have no marketable skills, talents, or knowledge.

I'm so sorry...

I've been there. That's why I earn my living as a secretary, and just get a little money from my writing. I keep waiting for some time to get my book into the format where I can send it to beta readers, but the computer keeps being monopolized.

*hugs* if you want 'em

Unless your resume is fictitious, I don't believe this applies to you. People without marketable skills do not get invited for on-site interviews, no matter what the result.

It's a tough market to be sure. Hang in there. I hope things work out for you.

I make every effort not to allow my resume to be even unintentionally fictitious or misleading. I will not lie about my skills or knowledge to get a job. Period.

I think a lot of the problem is I'm beginning to get serious anxiety attacks over just job applications, let alone interviews. I'm so close to panic when I get into an interview that I can't remember things I've known for years.

Just to be clear, I wasn't implying that you had anything misleading. My point is that you clearly have marketable skills. My apologies if you took this any other way.

Try to keep that in mind when you interview. Be yourself, and don't worry if you don't ace everything in the interview.

Oh, I didn't for a moment think you were. I'm just sayin'.
