The only way to get better at something is to do it more. That includes interviewing for jobs.
This is very true. I guess it’s a me issue but in my current mental state that isn’t another anxiety I need right now, but when I am ready to move on I understand I will just have to persevere and interview more.
Doing interviews when you know you have nothing on the line is a good way to practice, because you don't need to care if you do badly. Bonus is, you might end up getting an offer for something better :)
Sometimes there are local resources for learning the craft of resumes and interviews. Sometimes they are also free. Check with your local library, the local community college, the local social services. I would also seek counseling and medication for the anxiety. Don't let that stuff be an excuse to hold you back. Sacrifice some money and free time now and you'll make a lot more money later. I know this is all easier said than done, but it's worth doing.
Thanks and I appreciate you taking the time to last some resources.
I will spend the time now to increase my chances, but I am not money orientated. If I have enough to do what I want hobbies wise I’d rather have an easier life than loads of money.
The goal is both, and money does fund leisure. Personally I'm more focused on work life balance than anything. The wealthy have more free time than anyone. Good luck!
