What keeps you going?

I have had some major depression and anxiety problems in the past. I went and saw counselors and doctors, but really how I got past it was changing my mindset. I kept being faced with challenge after challenge and I just had to learn to look at every challenge as an opportunity to become stronger. I tried medicine and it didn't really work like I expected. It just kind of made things a little more even and didnt really take all of the depression and anxiety away. One other simple thing that helped me is just remembering that every day has to end. When the day is over, you go to bed and wake up with a fresh opportunity. You get one life man, live it to the fullest and accomplish your goals!

If you can, give your resume and cover letter to someone directly (other than the "Human Resources" folks). You can often side-step the whole resume-screening process by just getting your resume to a decision-maker right from the get-go. On your cover letter, explain how your experience relates to the responsibilities and duties of the job you are seeking. That's for the short-term.

Long-term, you consider learning how to code (program a computer). Attending meet-ups, you can meet people in the industry in your area. Learning to code is not an overnight thing, but it is something that you can get the basics on by self-study.
Here is the Python tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/
Here is the Java tutorial: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
Here is a JavaScript tutorial: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/JavaScript_basics

Java is the harder route and not as much fun. I code in Java for my day job but I strongly prefer Python. Java is one of the most used languages in the business world. Python is on the way up, but largely it is popular with machine-learning work.

JavaScript is the language of front-end logic and there is some back-end JavaScript as well (NodeJS). I don't focus much on front-end work, but even I end up having to do JavaScript a few times a week.

Anyway, as a long term project, employment prospects are good for software developers and will probably stay that way for a long, long time.
