Anyone jobless for a long time before?

Do you all get pissed when yr family tells you to get a job?
It’s not as if we don’t want to work but we can’t get a job...how do you reply them?

When I was jobless, it’s like that.
Even siblings will think you’re a leech.

got no siblings here. Anyways, I only have $1.xx in my bank account
right now. yup truth only $1.xx ( not trying to 1up anybody , but this is nothing but just the truth )

anyways in a previous post I mentioned that i am surviving taking $$ from my parents.
In my case, they do not say anything, they just give me money to survive on my daily F&B.
On my end, even if they are not saying anything, i personally feel bad.
Then again with $1.xx left in my bank account , well there is nothing much i can do
*sigh*

Eh, no offense but could it be your interview skills?
Cause you went for 10 interviews means on resume, you’re ok.
That leaves it to the interview itself that might not be landing you a job?

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Then 1 week before I started working, the company rescinded the offer because of budget issues.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.

Eh wtf, I didn’t know job market was so bad, in fact I thought it was booming sia (not trying to be funny).
I took 2 weeks to find a job, landed myself 5 offers (just pack 2 weeks full of interviews lol) .
could it be your interview something went wrong or smth?

What’s holding you back from finding a job or smth?
Maybe share with us we can try to help.
Cause left until $1.xx also not good for your mental health (quite stressful)
