Ambitious Technical Writer/Editor

What's the longest job search you've ever experienced?

I am a technical writer/editor and I'm almost at month 16 of no work and close to losing everything. I've put in tens of thousands of applications by now. It's getting so tough to feel any positivity or hope for the future. #advice #jobsearch

The struggle is real. Either overqualified, get ghosted (with or without interview) or not quite the right experience. It's difficult to remain positive and try to keep at it. Trying different approaches and being in different places to meet/network outside of immediate circles.
