Hello everyone! I am quite fresh from getting laid off from my job. I am now in the market for a new opportunity and since I held that job for 8 years, I need to get some rust off of my skills. The market doesn’t look so hot with hiring, but I’m looking for a remote opportunity, advices and job hunting tips anyone has! Trying to keep my heads up.

Brace yourself for an extended job hunt. IT these days is rough in terms of hiring.

Thank you! Trying to prepare myself of the possibility that I might not be hired for the next 3 months, I’ll use the time to sharpen skills and learn how to market it.

I wish I had advice for you, but this job market is truly awful. The only advice I can give is to make sure your resume is optimized for ATS, and apply absolutely everywhere. Good luck to you. Hopefully things start to improve for everyone soon.

Good luck! You will need it.

I agree with USAA 1, you will definitely be in it for the long haul. I don't want to discourage you but I've been looking for work since I got laid off last year and still haven't found a job. Keep at it though!!! I hope that this "glitch" in the job market will get better and companies will start hiring again.

Bracing for that long haul. I hope you find a job soon. Getting laid off sucks, but I try to look at the brighter side pursuing things I missed when I was busy at work. Rooting for you!

I have an extremely difficult colleague that I cannot work with. He answers my questions with completely tangential information and i have to repeat questions multiple times before he answers them, easily the poorest communicator I have ever worked with.

The week he took as PTO was the best week of my career at Amazon and I was far more productive.

I don't think I can continue working here if I am working with him on a daily basis, but I don't want to be seen as a poor team player. Any advice?
