It's been a year of no steady employment now... is employment just a privilege for those who are good at networking? (hexbear.net)

It's been a year since I was let go from my last full time, permanent job. I've never been able to find work since then. I know that if they were to just put me on the desk, I'd do the job well and excel at it. But nobody will do that. Because I can't network. I'm sorry, but I can't fake sincerity. I can't pretend I'm not just talking to someone because I want a job. But this arbitrary thing that has nothing to do with the job is apparently the end-all-be-all of finding work.

I was in a similar position after moving states and found a government work placement program that helped me. You may wanna try that while they still have funding. I have also found networking groups on meet-up that look decent and everyone is openly looking to boost careers. Best of luck out there friend
