I've been unemployed for three years
Advertisements [?]
Every job I apply for I'm told I'm unemployable for no other reason than because I have been unemployed for so long - it's an automatic red flag to hiring managers, which by some system of unbendable rules that no one can explain to me, instantly trumps my 6 years of IT experience and magna cum laude bachelor's degree in computer science. I have been surviving by raiding my retirement savings, which are now completely gone, plus I'm about $20,000 in debt. If I stop posting here in a couple of weeks it will be because I will be living on the street.

Any sympathy or job leads for me? Or is my post count too low for anyone here to care?
