I was so confident that I had landed a job that I didn't continue to submit applications. I put the cart before the horse and since I didn't get the job, I'm scrambling or so I thought.

In less than 2 hours if submitting an application, I was contacted and asked to schedule an interview. I feel relieved, but still cautiously optimistic. This time, I will submit applications until I get an offer. Has this happened to you? How hard were you on yourself?

I’m not even getting applications looked at right now. At least on the platforms that let me know when it’s been viewed. Keep going and don’t stop until you are in the office for your first day of work.

Thank you! I have to keep my head down and move forward until I land something!

The job market is very unpredictable right now. I’ve had tons of interviews with no offers. Most companies interview 10-20 people from one job opening. It’s competitively challenging.

A good rule of thumb in a job market this competitive is that you don't have a job until you are working the position. Even an offer isn't a guarantee. Always keep applying.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
