Yeah, it's rough out there. But always be optimistic. Pessimism won't help. Keep looking, keep applying. I was put onto Andrew LaCivita by a contact who got me an interview at his company, which didn't work out, but Andrew is a good follow. I tried his boss hunting technique for a while, coupled with a regularjob search. Ironically I just got a new job from the classic application process. Start in 2 weeks.

Congratulations and good luck! We need to hear and highlight positive news like when someone lands a job!! 💫🥳

Yes. I left San Diego after 2 yrs of unemployment and 4 surgeries and went back East to the DC metro area only to face the shutdown. I had 3 interviews in 7 months. Either I “lived too far” from the job site or faced ageism. Now I'm back in thr San Diego area where I'll reconnect with my network! Keep trying and be open for new experiences.

Yes. This job market is BRUTAL for everyone- even people with wonderful work history and experience are having trouble finding jobs. It's a combination of the economy and recruiters trying too hard to find their unicorns ("perfect" fit for the role).

What are the facts? And nobody watches cnn or msbbc- please…pick up a paper

Inflation is higher and going in the wrong direction
Job growth stagnant
Gas is high
Prices higher in every respect - from gas to meat to toilet paper
Housing (home ownership is slimmer than ever)
Lost a war and 13 service men and women
Our Allie’s are gone
Withdrawing from international treaties
Laughing stock around the world and
Hated around the world

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for fast food or cashier. 4 interviews with the second to follow.

Yep, it's a difficult time. There's a lot of competition since you're not just dealing with your local job market anymore. You have to compete on a global scale and not everyone is being honest about what they bring.

I’ve applied for many jobs and had no response. Only from scammers

It's probably a little bit of both. I retired from a company as a Plant Manager after working 35 years. I had extensive experience in Logistics, Workplace Safety, Scheduling, Budget, etc. I couldn't find a job anywhere and a common response was, "we are looking to go in another direction". Translation, you're too old for us. I had to take an entry level position and work my way back up.

Did your company have forced retirement? Or were you hoping to transition to something a little less stressful? Did you have a pension plan?

It is absolutely this economy, and it's not going to recover until a certain orange man is removed from office.

Yes, I feel my age and the economy.

Yeah, I've never had this much trouble getting a job before, and neither have I seen such abysmal job postings either. Companies asking for one person to do 5 people's jobs for entry level pay, poorly rated companies, companies with openings not because the company is growing but because they are downsizing and outsourcing. Seems like a rough economy and a lot of very wealthy c-suites cannibalizing their organizations.

Economy

Yes I having a very hard time

Really tough out here @59

It’s brutal

My last possible last offer was for $10/hr deer urine packaging... with gas over $4. What is the goal here can it not be mine?

They both are reasons if mgmt is looking for younger talent. The current economy doesn't help if they are going through tough times or rely on the AI magic

It’s both! Apply for a government job in USA jobs!

13 months 1600+ apps, 1 interview, 0 offers. It’s not just you lol

I’ve been working as a vp of BD for the past year for a startup IB and I had hoped that it would get me a conversation for moving forward in the industry but I can’t seem to get a second look from most places. I’ve had my resume looked at, I’ve done all of the follow up emails, but still nothing. Any leads to moving into a position anywhere? Note: I’m in my mid 30s and made a radical? career change from operations and logistics management to the financial sector. Not sure if it matters.

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute..

I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?

I used to work from home. I got a new job that requires me to go into the office. I love the job and the people I work with. There’s great energy and opportunities. But, the drive to the new job takes over an hour, and traffic is nuts. What are some tricks or tips to keep your sanity when driving to work? I hate traffic and it feels like such a waste of time. I listen to lots of podcasts, but I’m starting to get very bored of them. What do you all do?

I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
