Thread regarding DST Systems layoffs

There are no jobs out there. The media is lying about the economy's health

I've been looking since I started working here a year ago. To be honest, I am finding it difficult for the first time in my life to find a new job. I've sent out 100s of resumes, especially to jobs I am qualified for, even out of state, and I've got maybe 5 callbacks and nothing has come about. I've got 3 interviews in 2018 and then told they moved on in another direction. I'm 45. Feeling like no one want to hire someone my age. My life is depressing. I have no future at DST. I am thinking of selling my condo because I don't want to lose what little savings I have if I get laid off.

There are no jobs out there. The media is lying about the economy's health.

A sad post ,no doubt, by @YIlszHO-deb . Sadly this has become the reality for many long-timers

I can’t find another job and I’ve been looking for over a year.

Get someone to check your resume, dress it up with some made up accomplishments, assume credit/responsibility for things you were only tangentially connected to, etc. Everyone does this and if you're not you're being left behind.

Of course the economy is great--for the 1%!! The economy doesn't reflect that middle class wages have stagnated since the trickle down 80's.....you and I both know where all the extra money is going....doesn't take a genius to figure that out...I feel for you, buddy. Hang in there.
