Thank you very much all you kind people for responding. Yes, I am Jewish (but not frum). I don't live in the U.S., although I've applied even in the U.S. I don't want to give any particulars, because - who knows? I just hope to find a job commensurate with my training, where I could utilize my talents, which, I hope, will go towards supporting the good in this world. Today I spoke with a good friend (not about the job search, just about life) and feel better for no particular reason. Just the magic of human connection, I guess.
Yesterday, I felt really bad. I felt such sharp pain in my chest (it wasn't a physical, but a psychological pain, but it almost felt physical) that I couldn't breathe. I remembered that the last time I was feeling such pain was when I was 18 and fell in love, but the boy I was in love with told me that he didn't love me. And I thought to myself - ha-ha, how life's priorities change. First it's love, then it's a job. Many bad things happened to me in the past (just as to any person - I am not claiming exclusivity here), but they caused a different pain - a kind of a dull ache. It's this sharp pain that literally stops you from breathing that is a very peculiar feeling. It must be something that goes to the core of your very being. If you don't have a job, it's like you are nothing. Our identity is so closely related to what what we do.
