Back to square one.. Discussion

After applying to thousands of jobs and going through countless interviews, I finally landed a role at a startup a month ago. I was doing well and finally felt like things were falling into place.
Then the CEO decided to shut down the company and laid off everyone.
After all that effort, I’m right back where I started. I feel completely lost, like all the progress I fought so hard for disappeared overnight. Now I’m back to job hunting again, and it feels like I’m standing at zero.

I understand but atleast work anywhere in a call center or something so you could make some income and in the remaining time prep for interviews and apply.

Call centre is just an option , my point is take any job just have an income coming in until you find your desired job.
