I was laid off February 2020 right before the pandemic hit. Since then, I have lost count of the amount of resumes I’ve sent out and interviews I’ve had, only to be passed over or never contacted. Lately, the rejections have been “we decided we actually don’t need this position”; “someone else decided on a different candidate so we’re no longer moving ahead with you”. I’m at the end of my rope and almost out of savings. Is anyone actually hiring admins anymore in Chicago? Thanks, all.
