Anyone else struggling in this job market? I have 9+ years of HR/Talent program management experience as well as a masters in IO and have had difficulty getting any job in the field (even junior roles) with referrals, resume revamps & interview practice. I’ve been in the final rounds and ultimately don’t get the offer. I left the workforce when my dad was diagnosed with cancer & trying to re-enter has been a “growth moment” in maintaining persistence during adversity. Any tips?

I have 5+ years in talent and the same educational background as you. I've been out of work for 6 months now after a layoff. I think HR/OD/talent management and development has been hit especially hard in his awful market.

I have a PhD in IO and it took me a year and change to finally land a job. It’s rough! Just be persistent and keep applying. Consider something out of scope but where you can still draw on your skill set. Agree that right now, the TM space is nearly non-existent.

I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

Hi Fishes,

HR asked for a few documents like last 3 months payslips, ECTC etc. It's been 4 working days and that HR is not replying on my mail. It is fine or something is off track ? Any suggestions ?
Does they usually turn back after sending selection mail and asking for documents

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.
