While job searching, I've been applying for temporary positions and also contract work as well. I'm finding that even interim positions are requiring so much time that I'm back to looking for full-time positions again. I followed up regarding a short-term position and they said they'll be starting to interview in 2-4 months.

I'm not sure what to do at this point? I've been applying for months, making connections and networking for other avenues into companies beyond the traditional approach.

I'm getting some interviews but I'm told I have too much experience or not enough in that field. As others have posted, I have a diverse background so although the job title is the same, it's in different industries.

I don't care about a title but want to work. I've tried remote, contract, lower-level roles and even a holiday retail position where I was refused work as they are told not to hire 'seasoned' employees.

I'm starting to feel defeated as I can't even get a part-time job. I'm a single woman with a mortgage and bills. I've looked into selling my house but will still need to carry that costs as well as accrue relator fees.

Does anyone have any ideas? I know recruiters are trying to find the right fit for the job but when I have 20 plus years of experience and can't get a job folding clothes are running a cash register, it's very disheartening! I feel this is reverse discrimination!
