I have been applying for jobs for over a year now. I currently work in education. I just want to find a job that is better in pay. Since I have been employed, I have not had a promotion. I have applied myself, trained other clerical staff, do more and blah blah blah. I did not realize that the job market is difficult. More than fifteen years ago, seems as though it was so much easier to get a job and or get a promotion. So good luck to anyone who is looking for something better.

The job market hasn't been so good for about a year or two. It seems like there's just a lot of uncertainty about the economy and a lot of companies seem fearful of hiring anyone. They're more interested in cutting costs or laying people off. I'd been hoping that things would pick up in the new year, but it looks like we're in for more problems as more companies announce layoffs.

I feel this so much, it’s really so rough out here and 2025 hasn't been any better for me so far. It’s frustrating when you’re putting in the work and not seeing it pay off. The job market’s definitely tougher than it used to be but I'm trying to tell myself it's not impossible. I'd focus more energy on networking, that's what I'm doing and it IS leading to more interviews

There are many jobs out there. Depending on your salary (salary.com), your position that is close to your job search (https://www.onetonline.org/), and what you have been exposed to. Take off any dates that concern your education in your resume.

On day 2 I was asked to go to a job site and perform a 12 hour day without any training, safety equipment or tools. On day 3 I was asked back to site to do general labor! I ended cutting my hand on an exacto knife and there was no first aid! Is this normal?
