From Covington La. I'm a professional office administrator and have applied for over 40 jobs in 2024. Landed 5 interviews but was never picked. I have all the skills and experiences that these jobs post. I have a rockstar winning personality and do well on interviews. I just don't understand why I don't get picked. Some say I have what they're looking for and am a strong candidate but yet they don't pick me. It's very discouraging and upsetting on the daily. Depression sets in after awhile.

I completely understand. It took me almost a year and an insane amount of interviews before landing at a great job. I know I was a good candidate when I'd have up to 7 interviews at a company and still not getting picked. Depressing is an understatement. Know the market is really rough right now, there's something out there for you!

It is an incredibly tough market right now. You can do everything they ask for and then some and still not get it. I have been in some low spots over the year just because of all the rejection from jobs. You aren’t alone and all I can see is to keep trying and know that it is just plain hard.

OP I have several friends who have been looking for new roles for over 6 months and haven't been able to find anything. I would highly suggest networking and trying to get as many referrals as you can to help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
