Hello, my name is Alyssa. I am now unemployed no income or unemployment and I need to see why there are no places hiring. Even for remote! Any advice or direction?

The market is just really bad right now. Companies are cutting budgets, junior roles are being off-shored, and companies are preparing for further AI integration. I would recommend reaching out to any recruiters you have spoken with at any point; additionally, thoroughly review every job posting you want to apply to and tailor/tweak your resume based on what they're looking for. I would also recommend a resume review service as more and more companies use software for the first round of applicants to make the load manageable. Someone who specializes in resume writing should be able to help spruce up your base resume to get through the software and onto interviews.

Note: the resume review should be for your generalized resume, not for a specific application, so all you need to do is make the tweaks to be more specific to individual postings as you apply.

For everyone, you should just about always reply to recruiters, even if it is just to say, "Thank you, but I'm not looking for a new role right now." It is incredibly important to have them in your network.

You are not alone!
I’ve eaten plain pasta for days and I can’t even sleep of how hungry I am. Faking I’m ok on Linkedin, not to sound too desperate.
Applying to jobs on Linkedin has been pretty useless, when I find a job I qualify for, there’s already 100 applications. I’ve shifted my energy to network like crazy and post everyday on Linkedin.
Wishing you the best!

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?
