Dan Hevia has been laid off before — but this time feels different.
Dan Hevia has been laid off before — but this time feels different.
Hevia, 42, a marketing and business development specialist based in the New York City area, has been out of work since the summer. In a recent LinkedIn post, he claimed he has filled out more than 1,000 job applications, with nothing to show for it.
“If you had told me when I was laid off in June that I would approach 6 months without a job offer, I would laugh (hooray for confidence!),” Hevia wrote. “But here it comes and boy does this job market humble you on a regular basis.”
In an interview with NBC News, Hevia said he holds out little hope for what the future brings for his career.
“I’m continuing to apply with shaken confidence — if not totally broken,” he said.
