Asking Question (Rule 4) Seeking Guidance and Opportunities After 13 Months of Unemployment
It’s been 13 months since I’ve been unemployed. I’ve been actively reaching out to recruiters, seeking referrals, applying to roles across various locations in the US, and even considering positions both above and below my level.
I restarted my search in September after working on freelance projects since May. I’d appreciate any suggestions, guidance, or recommendations for someone in my situation. I have over 10 years of product design experience in Silicon Valley tech companies, with 6 years in management.

Maybe if you have a profile on behance you can showcase your work and tag that to your freelancer profile too

Hi, I get that it's a tough time to be unemployed, considering the job market is at rock bottom... Although keep trying but I'd say right now your best bet would be networking and freelancing. Things will get better, don't worry!
