I am so burnt out on job searching and interviewing for 6 months and not landing anywhere. I have years of experiences, interviews and conversations felt strong and confident, but then, I get rejection letters only. I’m so sick and tired of this job market.

I am right there with you. I have been looking for a job for 8 months and haven't been able to find anything. I have gotten rejection after rejection and can't even seem to land an interview. Hang in there and keep applying, we have got this.

I already burned through unemployment & then finally found a PT temp role making 1/2 of unemployment, which just ended. Layoffs are brutal!

Six months of searching can really drain confidence. Try to remember that interviews going well means your skills are landing. Sometimes it is timing, competition, or internal candidates rather than your capability.

It’s a really hard ball game out there, word of mouth can work wonders if you have a lot of contacts that know people and people etc, you’ll be surprised what that can do!

I have the same sentiments. From ghosting after second interviews, to scams from legit emails to fraud offer letters, I’m very much struggling to navigate this job market.

You’re not alone 🙏🏿

You too? I completed 1,677 hrs of job search and applying for the past 12 months. Avg 2-4 phone screening a month. Only to be offered 20.00 an hr for 20 year old experienced gal.

Anyone else’s mental state getting affected?

I feel like you. I just can’t take it anymore. Giving up and going go do retail jobs. It’s very frustrating.

I feel this with my soul. I have been out of work for 4 and half months.

How normal is it to be pulled off a trial team because you tell your boss you are moving after trial? I have a trial coming up first week of Oct. This case has been my baby, and I’m going to try it with my boss. I tell my boss up front that, for family reasons, I’ve gotten a new job and will be moving to another city two weeks after trial will likely end. He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?
