RedBlankIt's journey

I've been feeling pretty defeated in my job search lately. I hold a Master's in Planning and have sent out over 100 applications, but I've only managed to secure 17 interviews with no job offers in North Carolina. It's been tough, especially since I’ve applied for roles in both the public and private sectors, as well as positions in related fields. To make ends meet, I've even started applying for serving, cashier, and bartending jobs. What’s really frustrating is that I had two interviews that felt promising, but both employers ended up canceling the positions altogether without hiring anyone. I can't help but wonder if the current state budget issues are causing these hiring freezes and delays. On top of that, I have a resume dilemma. I recently moved to a rural area for a city planner position, but after just two months, I was let go and they froze hiring. Should I omit that short stint from my resume? I’m worried it might raise red flags for potential employers. I’d appreciate any advice on my resume situation or insights into the job market right now.
