> I’ve been unemployed for 3 years. Something happened back there

I am sorry things have been hard. I hope in time they turn around for you. The job market out there is nuts, and I truly believe a lot of those "help wanted" notices are for show. Add in the fact that many places are not looking to pay worth a damn, and I can completely understand why some people (who are able) stop looking.

I hope things turn around, and I wish you good fortune.
