I checked my Saved Jobs folder today and realized that half of the roles I saved two weeks ago have already been taken down. The speed at which you have to operate just to be seen is completely unsustainable for someone who actually wants to tailor their cover letters. Are you guys spraying and praying with a generic resume, or are you still trying to customize every single application?

I started off the job search with being incredibly picky with where I applied. Now I’m just hoping to get anything so that I can get some steady income while I grow my freelancing network. It’s tough out there and diapers don’t grow on trees.

I am glad it isn't just me that saves jobs to do later. I have noticed half the jobs I have saved have expired as early as 24 hours later. I just try to apply right away now to jobs that I know will go quickly.

I usually save to apply later if the application process is long. I end up procrastinating and not applying to the jobs.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
