I went to all 5 interviews, got 1 offer from a small company and accepted it.

Then 1 week before I started working, the company rescinded the offer because of budget issues. Knn. I had to start all over again. Finally after 4 more months and 3 more interviews I got another job offer and accepted it. I think for the past one year I must have applied to 1000+ jobs. Hit rate is damn low, but you only need 1 job. So don't give up.
So it took you a year to find a permanent job? I don't think I can last that long having bills to pay. If I can't get a permanent job in 3 months, I will take up contract roles for at least 6 months. I always tried to applied for permanent role but it's damn hard to get a offer and i have been searching for the past 3 months already.

So sad to said I've been on contract jobs for 2 years already and i think i will just have to start another contract role again.
