Still trying to hang in there. My first child was born two months ago, and while I was away on protected leave for her, my company laid me off. Been trying to pivot to new work and skills as what I was doing wasn’t highly rewarding anyway. But despite having applied to many places now with a tailored resume and cover letter to each one, it’s been absolute silence. After nearly a month now I’m starting to crack and feel hopeless for myself and my family.
