I was laid off 3 months ago. I make it to final rounds but get the “we went with another candidate”. I couldn’t muster the strength to send job applications this week. How do you manage those times of burn out from job searching?

With the way the job market is going right now, we will probably all end up bankrupt. Not trying to be Nancy negative, I’m the one who always keep the chin up and with a positive mindset. We all have those days and it’s ok…. things will get better and if they are not, it’s not the end. Keep swimming 🏊‍♂️

I understand how you are feeling. If possible find other things that bring motivation to you, NOT work related or recruiter related. Complete that workout you think about it, find a freelance gig, connect with your family/mom, meditate… if your keep measuring yourself by the success of recruitment processes you will find yourself constantly burning out

Keep trying I guess, thats what its all about finding work. I had 4 years gap after my graduation but I didnt give up and get back to my career somehow and now after 2/3 years of experience I went tothre bad company that wouldnt even give me contracts and I somehow trusted them that they won't kick me out for no reason, But I got kicked out after 5 months serving with no notice and pay. Now by the time I got another job I had to spend 8months out of work and it is not fully back on my career field. But I somehow keep it positive and kept telling myself there is time I will keep trying.

I had bad news last week too. I took the day off (Wednesday) and sulked. But you know what, I picked myself back up and worked the job search world. something clicked and I have 3 interviews this week.
Its ok to take a little break- its ok to take a day off to reflect and regroup.
Good luck!

I take a couple of days to focus on other things, such as upskilling, passion projects or some hobbies. For me, there's not enough jobs to apply for to keep me busy everyday anyway so most of my time I spend sharpening my skill section.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
