I have never had so much trouble finding a job. I was laid off two months ago, and I haven't been able to find a job since. It has never taken me more than a few weeks to find a new job. What am I doing wrong all of a sudden?

Work with recruiters directly. Dont just apply online because your resume might not even be read due to mass applicants applying and AI filters

I’m in the same boat. Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. Its a tough job market

In case it helps I saw an increase in response when I tailored my resume using ChatGPT for ATS. Also think about contracting work with agencies like Robert half and appleone

You’re a tax manager having trouble finding a place in Public Accounting? 😭 That is not good.

Use your network stop cold applying

I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
