I have been in a job search (not laid off but looking make a move from Canada back to US) for a while and it has been awful. RSD is especially bad! Despite having excellent technical and business skills, I am not even getting second interviews. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Honestly - 1) remember you are not alone 2) make it a numbers game. Apply to everything even vaguely relevant to up your interview experience / chances! 3) find recruiters jn your area on linkedin, and ask them for feedback on your cv /approach

Bleak I know 😞

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
