Ask HN: How to cope with job hunting and depression?
I&#x27;m 44 with fewer years of experience as a developer than yourself. I&#x27;ve been through the job hunting meat grinder a couple times in the last year myself.  I&#x27;ve been homeless in the past, too.  Here&#x27;s what I have to say:<p>- therapy is for people who can afford it; don&#x27;t get hung up on the fact that you can&#x27;t afford it, and do what you gotta do to keep going<p>- leave your personal drama out of the interview, no matter what, because ain&#x27;t nobody going to want to hire a depressed mopey anybody<p>- if you suck at interviews, practice interviewing; in my most recent job search, I got a few friends to do mock interviews with me, including explaining why they were asking what they asked<p>- feel free to reach out to me via email; I was a tech recruiter for several years, and now I&#x27;m a senior dev at a company that doesn&#x27;t suck
