I have recently found myself back on the job market and some of these stories are scaring me. How is it taking you guys to find jobs?

It depends on your expertise. I still think the insurance industry is doing way better than most other industries.

How long it is taking to find a new job isn’t going to help you. If someone says 30 days and someone else says 6 months, how does that help you? Their education, experience, etc. are different that yours. It’s better to focus on what they did that helped them land a new role.

Its not easy. Age, AI, and a whole host of other factors play into it. Companies want experienced workers at entry level salaries and really dont care about cohesion of teams and the work environment. They say they do but their actions speak otherwise.

I have been looking since October and haven't been able to find anything. I have only had two interviews total and have applied to hundreds of jobs. Hang in there and keep applying.

What are the alternatives? Is networking helping?
