It will be like that until the election. Companies are afraid to hire until they know who is in office.

Given the increase in protests, the weird economy, unmanageable refugee influx, and the continued unrest around the world, I believe we need a conservative in the White House in November to turn this around. But unfortunately we only have Trump. So not sure where that leaves us. I believe Biden or Trump is a terrible situation for us to be in. Biden wins? More of the same. I don’t even know what it looks like if Trump wins.

Was Trump doing a good job before the pandemic happened? 🥴

Probably not until after the election. I got laid off on June 2022 and still haven’t found a job. Barely any interviews. Most interviews don’t go past the recruiter stage. It’s brutal and since 2024 there have been less job postings and I’ve only had two interviews - one ghosted after they said they wanted me to meet with the leadership team and I never heard from them again. I then saw the job reposted as a manager instead of “head of”. The second interview the recruiter basically gave me a hard time about being laid off and not getting a job, and then picked apart my career gaps and some short stints I’ve had. Those were on my resume, if you didn’t like them, why interview me? Didn’t ask anything about my experience. I never heard from them again. And I had a referral for that job and they still treated me like crap.
