I feel like the job market is still crappy for me. I feel like I'm either underqualified or overqualified for every job posting. Nothing is giving me that just right goldilocks vibe, you know? Just sending resumes out into the void isn't ideal but I'm not sure what else to do. Do you think the job market will get better soon?

We have to remain positive and keep patience, I’m sure something will come along for us both🙏🏻

Late last year I was hoping things would turn around after New Year's. That didn't happen, and I was thinking, okay, maybe in the spring. Now I'm not so sure. News reports have been saying all along that companies have been hesitant to hire. And now the price of gas may throw the economy into more chaos. I sure hope things turn around, but I'm not too optimistic.

There's a bunch of companies where you pay a subscription and they leverage AI to spam apply to job postings, so there's a ton of noise and junk for most postings that it's hard to even have anyone look at your application. The best way to find a job is through your network, which for some might mean you need to start networking first.
