I have 8 years of experience from a nesting job (admin, AR/AP, Tax, etc). I get my bachelors at the end of this year and I’ve applied to over 150 positions and keep getting rejected. If not, I’ll go through 4 rounds of interviews to then not be offered the job. Is no one actually hiring and wasting my time? Or is something wrong with me? Does no one care about experience anymore?

Usually interviews aren't about skillet, if you didn't have the skills and or potential then you wouldn't get an interview. When you get interviews, it is typically more about assessing personality fit within the current company culture. Now if you are getting to that point, then and not getting moved further into the process then need to work on practicing interviewing and how to present your personality in an agreeable manner to the team.

Networking is key. Make friends with someone who can get you a lunch date with someone on the inside.

Try asking recruiters why you were not selected and advice they can share for future interviews. Good luck

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick
