Accepted an offer after 7 months - 16 weeks in

After 7 months I accepted a job as a software tester. Thank you in advance. I could not have done it without this community. Any advice for starting over?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.
