I am having the same problem. I have two decades of experience, but now I have a large gap in my employement. Most recently I spent 7 weeks interviewing with a company for a position I was super solid on, and then after 7 weeks, 3 in person interviews and being told I was "in background check phase" -- even though we hadnt even signed a single document/filled out any paperwork I was ghosted for two weeks and then told "we are not adding to the team at this time"

I'm basically suicidal at this point. I have no freaking idea what to do.

I apply to many many jobs and get through multiple conversations and then either ghosted, lied to or rejected.

I would like to know if someone can run a background check on me and tell me what others might see?

I spoke to a friend and they said they know others who are experiencing this as well -- and effectively I am experiencing age-ism now that I am in my 40s
