I was unfortunately part of a company wide layoff in August and I'm still looking for a remote or Chicago based Senior Recruiter role. I have 6 years of experience in the talent acquisition space in both staffing agencies & corporate settings. I've applied to over 300 positions and have been averaging 1-2 rejection emails a day. I'm a hard worker and I hope someone in this group can either guide me through this tough time or can give me some great advice.

Sorry to hear that you are getting all these rejections. I hope you applied for unemployment benefits since you were laid off. Maybe you can get help from the labor department in getting free training for other type of work. You can boost your resume by having different options. I recently left my job and now on a different career path so I have more job options. I started taking required training courses then I will get required insurance certificates expanding my options to 3 more different insurance fields. Sometimes you need to make adjustments so you have many more opportunities at hand. Good Luck

I feel your pain here as well. I've heard from a reliable source that I'm likely to be laid off by the end of the week and I've been sick ever since. Same as you I started applying back in October and haven't come close to landing a job. It's really tough on me and my mental health for what it's worth. It truly feels like I'm worthless and not wanted. If I do get let go I have no clue what I'll do, I have little to no savings and lots of expenses.

While it's tough now, it won't last forever. You won't be in the stage/hardship long. Pain is temporary

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂
