For those looking for their next HR role, I would like to get your perspective on how your search is going. I have been unemployed previously and eventually got a job. I had much more calls from recruiters companies and that was during Covid. Lol! I even got hired during Covid. Now I don’t get any calls and I sometimes feel like I’m wasting my time applying online. I talk to people that I don’t know through LinkedIn hoping that maybe they’ll hear of a lead.

I've been laid off 3 times in my life. This time has been the absolute worst of them all hands down. In nearly 7 months of looking I've only had a handful of interviews and no offers. I was able to take a temporary job to survive but it's driving me crazy and I need to leave them ASAP. The job market is terrible for professional level job seekers. It feels like companies are making us pay the price after the great resignation during COVID as hiring for many big companies has been deprioritized therefore putting people like us out of work. Mentally these past 3-4 months have been some of the worst of my life. My mental health has suffered greatly trying to land a job.

My search has not been going well. I am in the NYC area and I have been focused on Senior HRBP/leadership roles. I was let go from my job in early May. While I have had interviews, it's been a tough market overall. I was also just part of a final round interview process but the decision was made to go with someone else who they felt would be a better "cultural fit".

I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

Good morning. I am currently a senior associate in BugLaw, and I have applied to several trial attorney jobs in Chicago offices of federal agencies since the start of the pandemic. According to usajobs.gov, my applications to the DOJ and CFTC were “referred,” and my application to the SEC was received and my GS scale verified. But I haven’t received any updates on these applications in over a month. Does anyone here have any insights on these or on federal hiring generally? Thanks!
