Feel like giving up

I was made redundant a few months ago... From a middle management role.. One which I had worked hard to get to quite specific to a certain industry....
Despite months of applying for jobs and interviews I now feel so worthless I don't feel I can attend another interview to be rejected again... What on earth can I do to pick myself back up again.
I am a single mom and have worked to pay for the huge childcare bills for the last 5 years (with no holidays or luxuries for myself) but I felt it was worth it as it was all about the long term and my career... Now I feel like I might as well have claimed benefits rather than 11 hours a day away from my daughter.

Please fill me full of positive stories of how you have come back from the blow that is redundancy cause right now I feel like a huge failure X

If you are getting interviews you must be close to getting a new job. Don't give up and good luck

Any luck yet, OP? It is VERY competitive out there. Anyone who hasn’t had to apply for a new job for many years will get a shock at how much harder it is to even get an interview!
