Yeah, it’s tough!! Even with an extremely tailored resume, I’m not getting calls back. I’m not applying for anything crazy, the same role I’m already in 😔
it’s so frustrating, but glad i’m not the only one

From what I’m seeing, response rates are pretty low right now unless the role is a very close match. A couple applications without follow-ups doesn’t really say much yet, unfortunately. I’d give it more volume and track what types of roles actually get bites, because the market still feels very hit or miss.
Very good point! Thanks for the advice.

Most usually never respond in my experience
It’s so frustrating!
I’m looking now too and not getting any bites. I feel like I just need to hang on until October, November and budgets will open up.
