Nope. Had 10 consecutive years of solid work experience between three jobs where I moved up almost yearly as shown on my resume. Now I've been unemployed for two years. I spend at least 40 hours a week looking for a job. Sometimes I put out as many as 60 applications in a single day to only get four interviews in the last two years. At this point I need to spend hours searching for places that I haven't already applied to 3-4+ times and those kind of places are running out.

The few jobs I had recently interviewed for and seemed like I was going to start working ended up telling me i had a "red referral" on my background check and they couldn't disclose for what exactly because they supposedly don't see the actual background check they just get a "green, yellow, red" rating apparently.
I have a misdemeanor from 2010 where I got arrested for 1/2 a gram and a pipe. That could potentially be the red flag, or it could be my fucked up credit. Have at least 6 bills in collections right now. I went back to an old job of mine thinking I'd easily get back in since I had a great record there. I was then told by HR that they're more likely to hire somebody with a felony than someone with a petty drug related misdemeanor and said that's the mentality of most companies now days. Or it could be from this gap of unemployment I'm now in, or it can be an error on my background check, who knows.
So I'm trying to scrape up some money right now to do a background check on myself to see what turns up, then if I can identify anything, it'll probably be something that costs thousands of dollars to fix, which I'll have to magically pull out of my ass to have a chance at getting a job.
Oh, and today was the first time I've missed rent. End of the 5 day grace period and I'm still $870 short. All out of backup plans after two years of making ends meet somehow. I'm all out of personal possessions to sell anymore. This could be the end of the road unless a miracle occurs but I'm not expecting anything like that because it's unrealistic. I guess not everybody is meant to make it in life.

Hey don't get down on yourself, and keep trying. You should look at assistance programs like SNAP for food, and a rent controlled property - or take in a room-mate or move in with one.
I took in a room-mate, and it gave me extra income, and cut my utilities down. Sometimes it sucks, but overall it's worth it.
Anyways, I splurge at the grocery store on NY strip steaks, and crab legs - usually once a week or so, but I don't buy ANYTHING from convenience stores, and I gave up most of my vices. I might buy a 6 pack once a month or so. But keep at it, something good will happen to you I'm sure.
Also, try to eat fresh/in season stuff. Its a lot cheaper if you can. I always have an ear of corn, potatoes (or fries) and salads. And I still eat Ramen noodles.
When I worked, I couldn't believe the amount of food I threw away/over bought. Now I am really careful about it.
