I wrote something that was more descriptive, but as this would remain public I shortened it.
How can one contact you? Perhaps me or the person you are responding to. This is the first time I am replying to any discussion in this manner out of respect for myself. Your username indicated this could be the right call. I am no longer in as bad as a situation as the OP but I have been in a four year long vicious cycle that has changed me, with ups and downs. I'd like to second his point on impressions and inability to get a good job. I believe I was blacklisted, in effect, whether or not such lists exist, and I have come up with theories that could explain it. Same theories stop me from applying for many jobs, or using my contacts in in fear of possibly having something pop up in background checks and embarrassing them. Unlike the comment above, I have tried numerous times to land a job, got extremely close 4 times, and twice I was hired and fired in such short periods as I couldn't perform having not being paid yet. No money was saved. Something goes wrong due to financial hardship and back to square one. It is extremely ridiculous that one has to deal with such trivial matters, nevertheless that is the main pain point.
