I was laid off 6 months ago and it’s been 6 tough months of just getting to see rejections, modified the resume several times and kept applying. Anxiety and stress are an add-on during this job search. I have 6 years of experience in the tech and still seem to find no luck. Can someone please help me with any DevOps related roles, anything from Entry level and junior ones.

Devops skills are quite in demand, what is response in rejection. Is it because of salary expectations or some other reasons. Is it North America market

I am sorry, market is pretty bad and competitive, try to get some references and hope for the best. Good luck in your job search.

It’s never about pay for me and infact I have always worked for less paying jobs while others of same level as me had higher pays, hoping to find a good pay someday while I can improve my skillset. Right now, I did not want to be away from market and took one job from a startup that doesn’t pay me, just to not lose touch. But the reality is that I need something that can also pay me to meet my needs! I don’t know I have just received literally a ton of automated rejections and I lost any hope left and I can’t go for anything other than IT as I need H1B sponsorship too!

Well, just 🤯
