I have followed up with countless recruiters and hiring managers who work for the hundreds of companies I have submitted applications for and have not received any responses at all. I have pretty much given up on temp agencies as well because they never find me anything promising and their clients always seem to be looking for for the perfect person AKA unicorn.
The last actual interview I was asked to do was horrible because the recruiter at Wells Fargo never showed up, so I never got a chance to interview for the position anyways--especially since the Recruiter never bothered to contact me about the interview that never happened.
When will this madness ever end?? I have reoptimized my resume several times at this point, so im sure that isn't the issue. How do I find a new position when no one is responding to us and we constantly receive rejection emails??
Im at the point now where I have applied to a few Insurance Sales roles & am working on trying to get my license if the company will pay for it and let me start working there. I have been freaking unemployed for almost 3 months & have not had a solid interview in at least a few months & its driving me crazy.
I have called every temp agency in my area, in addition to every Recruiter I was advised to call & after calling over 20 recruiters, NOT A SOUL has not 1 position I can be considered for.
I just need a freaking JOB at this point. Getting $357 weekly is better than nothing --YES--but I still need to survive as well. How the hell are companies getting work or anything else done if they aren't hiring anyone??
People treat my situation as though not having a job is supposed to be acceptable & I'm supposed to just immediately come up with all of thesw creative ideas to start my own business and sell my own products & start my own services--when in reality, that shit TAKES TIME, EFFORT, AND HAVING SUPPORT from other people to be successful!!
I am 1,000% tired & drained. I am not looking for ward to the holidays because I am just not in the mood and come from a very toxic family anyways. My mental health is all over the place right now & its not easy for me. I will quickly get labelled as being "selfish" or "not being able to separate the two of being unemployed & being able to celebrate the holidays" by critical family members. They did it to me when I lived at home and was depressed because I was working in an extremely toxic work environment and was not treated fairly there, in addition to being treated poorly at home. People need to be more understanding.
Faat forward to today, I was searching for a job LONG BEFORE getting laid off in September. I worked in such a toxic environment where s doing the work of 4 people at my job with barely any help from my Supervisor & was fetting criticized left & right about EVERYTHING I did towards the end of my time being theee! I never knew everything was expected to be perfect when I was overseeing 30+ people for 1 program, juggling multiple duties & issues in the program, in addition to calling clients, assessing, & resolving conflicts for people with no training.
My Director kept nitpicking my work. Then she emailed me again about the same issue—2–3 payment reminders sent later than usual. She asked why they were delayed, if any were overlooked, and said sending them late makes us look bad. She also asked me not to send any other late notices and to provide the total number missed last month.
Then, before I logged off(& I should have logged off as soon as I was off, but I wanted to make sure everything got sent right away)-My Director sent me an email saying: "we do not need income info. from her roommate if they're not in her household. I did not ask you to request that. Don't send another email today. Just sit on it tonight and follow up tomorrow to let her know that we don't need income docs for her roommate."
She also told me to apologize to the client as well. Like how do you even respond to a NASTY email like that?
My Director nitpicks everything & even forgot to submit payroll last week, yet talks to me in a harsh tone over small mistakes.
🌟After doctor-recommended medical leave for stress, my Director required for me to track my time every 10-15 mins for 3 days straight, increasing anxiety without reducing workload.
🌟Requests for accommodations or workload adjustments ignored (especially when I suggested getting an intern) only superficial time management advice given.
🌟Performance reviews emphasized me needing to be more independent & demonstrate problem-solving but Supervisor complains about doing “double work” and me having lack of initiative.
🌟Unequal treatment: Supervisor excused from events and duties for personal reasons; you expected to cover without flexibility..
-**Ex.-she comes up with reasons why she can't attend events because she has graduations to attend, family reunions, birthday parties, family gatherings, etc. & my Director allows it.
My Supervisor was unresponsive & disciplines for multiple days at a time without speaking to me or checking in--while she is doing whatever she wants to do & not working--& my Director allowed it.
-When I had an emergency with my car this year & my car was in the shop for a few days & told my Director I could not attend a work meeting, she just said "this is a really important meeting you dont want to miss" & said she wanted to help me find a way to get there.
Has anyone found anything promising, solid, and stable after being on the job hunt for several months?
If so, how did you find the position?
My only experience is 7 years as a sales rep with Verizon wirless. I got laid off back in December. And it took my a week to get another job. I just decided I don’t like so I applied to liberty mutual and got the phone interview and immediately was set up for second interview. I’m not special. Just make sure you’re tailoring your resume to the position. And study and practice for the interviews.
