Trying to Explain Why I'm Still on the Job Market after 3 and half years

I had an uncomfortable conversation today with a perspective employer. I felt cornered and angry. I didn't let it show though. I remained calm as I explained what I've been doing for the past three and half years. I didn't expect for my situation to remain as it has for so long. I never planned to let so much time pass me by while I launched my new venture.

I hoped to be employed. I still do. I want to work. I need to work. No one believes me. Maybe I am being stubborn. Maybe I am just not desperate enough to take any job. If you've been in my shoes, you know how I'm feeling right now.

Some days are worse than others. I do want to be able to say that I got this terrific job and I'll be starting on Monday. I don't. I have had some nibbles though. A ray of hope that this terrible crisis will soon end for me. That I will be secure again.

I am working.
