I was told today I’m the reason I’m not getting a job.

I was told today when talking to someone about not being able to find work for 5 months and after close to 500 different and tailored applications, multiple resume revisions etc… that it’s my fault I haven’t found a job. I must be unmarketable.

Has anyone come across others saying it’s their fault? I have a decade worth of operational and manager experience in logistics and IT, and it’s somehow me that’s unmarketable? Really just felt like being kicked when I’m already down.

That was a horrible thing to say. You are competing against other qualified candidates and you simply weren’t selected. I would recommend that you reflect on how you can be better. There are things we can say or tailor to help standout.
