Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a new position as where I am at right now is no longer working well for me. Does anyone have any advice on where to look? A bit of background, I am working on getting a network+ and CCNA cert, along with doing some AWS training when I have some free time. I have been applying like crazy on LinkedIn, but I’m getting nowhere. I have also tried Indeed, monster, etc with no success. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are doing AWS training, please consider studying for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate) certification exam. The market is very tough and being able to put AWS certified into your LinkedIn title could help you be more competitive.

Advice right now is that it’s tough out there! Try to not be discouraged. Expand the job search and reach out to anyone in your network, and keep building it. You can try finding some specialized sites like built in. Does help to narrow down the search a bit. Focus on making a tailored resume and just keep trying!

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
