Maybe flip the perspective a little. Don’t think of it as comforting them or feeling sorry for them. Try to be present but don’t talk about the struggle. Speaking from experience, they likely need a bit of relief from the constant worrying and job searching. So just invite them out to catch up for a drink, a walk or a coffee to take their mind off it for a few hours and make them feel valued, wanted and needed as a friend.
Don’t feel so guilty! You’ve done everything you possibly could, and gone above and beyond for your friend. You can’t change a bad job market, it is what it is. Just continue to be there for them, I’m sure they’ll appreciate someone to lean on during a tough time.
It’s not just your friend. The market has been so bad recently, a few months back I had 2 internal referrals and a LinkedIn message with the GCD, and the agency recruiters still never followed up with me. I’m on an awards streak too. I do see it slowly picking up again though with more postings in the month or so.
Don’t ask them if they found anything yet. Let them bring it up and vent. Don’t add suggestions.
As someone who is actively job searching the best thing my friends and loved ones can do is ask how I am doing. Not ask how the job search is going.
