Hi, I’m becoming frustrated with the market right now, I was in a layoff in May and I still can’t find anything, I apply but then I am ghosted/rejected. I’m confused as to why this keeps happening. I am qualified/ over qualified for the positions I apply for, I don’t want to be remote at all, and I’m asking significantly less than I am worth…. I have my masters and 178 credits, I had been asking a minimum of 50k but I am to a point where I would take less than that even. Any advice would help.

Where are you located? What is your experience?

If you were in NYC, I could take a look at your resume and maybe make a solid recommendation. As it is, there is not much I could do, sorry.

Keep at it. The market is rough but you will only be stronger for it. A few years from now this will all be a distant memory.
