At a dead end and don't know what to do besides stop! I've been job searching everyday, some days several hours for 8 months straight. I have about 100 different resumes that I've edited for different type of positions. I've got nothing but denials, recruiter screenings, 2 interviews and ghosted. I really want to give up and just sit and hope for a miracle at this point. Can anyone relate? How are you keeping faith? Any tips or tricks?

If you'll stop then you'll never be where you wanted your self to be. I believe that everything has its own perfect timing. I had to work 3 part-time jobs and stopped school for a year because my father was laid off from his job. Our financial distress made me stronger. It made me who I am now. Never stop and never quit.

Sorry to hear that. What job role are you looking for? What's your experience? Where would you like to work? You can join bowl for company you'd like to work for and ask if someone can refer you.

Ok. So what jobs are you looking for? If you're too general an employer won't know where to fit you in. What do you bring to the table?

It's tough right now. I have been in the same place and all I can say is you may have to lower your standards to pay the bills for a bit, but when you least expect it something will come your way. Our economy is just a mess right now and companies are scared.

I'm not sure what your current role or situation is. It would be helpful to analyze the whole market and see what careers and skills are in demand. Getting into tech after doing some certificates is a good option for some people.

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?

Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse?

Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.
