Yeah, not sure I buy it either.
Everyone was unemployed at one point. I was unemployed a month ago, for like 2 months, I was unemployed.
I sent like 2-3 job applications a day, landed a couple of interviews and got my new job.
I spent like, maybe half an hour a day looking for a job, sending job applications, etc. and that's that.What else is there to do really?
In the meantime, in the 2 months of unemployment I got money from Unemployment insurance. (That's why you pay into Unemployment insurance, of course).
I don't know what the developer means, that he is too busy looking for a job. - I get that it takes priority - but it doesn't take that long on a day-to-day basis. You take like ~15 minutes to send 2 Job applications per day, and then you're done for the day. That's what I did.
In the meantime, you receive your unemployment benefits and well that's it.
What's the issue here? Is the OP seriously suggesting he spends 8 hours a day sending job applications?
No wait, that would be normal work hours - and he was able to develop the game, while having a job and normal work hours, so he spends MORE time now - He spends 10 hours a day sending job applications?
I have a hard time believing that.
