If you're someone doing job hunting now, what would be the reason?

1 - Unemployed and looking for a job

2 - Transitioning into a new role/industry

3 - Unhappy with the current role and looking for something better

If you're number 3, what would be the reason for leaving your current job? Just checking on everyone to see how they are doing.

I'm looking but I'm hanging on to the job I've got. I'd just like to be doing some more interesting. And, of course, I'd like to be getting more money. So far the job search is pretty stagnant. I was hoping this year would see some improvement on that front, but I'm not seeing it yet.

I feel you on that. It’s tough when you’re stuck in a job that’s not challenging or paying what you deserve. Hopefully things pick up soon! It can be frustrating when progress feels slow, but just keep pushing and something will come through.

Definitely number 3, but I will not let go of my current role until I find another. I feel like I could be earning more, and be in a role where there isn't a glass ceiling (not in terms of gender). With the way the job market is now, I feel like I am going to searching for a while.

That's a good move. Never quit your current job if you don't have something lined up.

Hello anyone I currently have a twic badge I have been sitting on for 5 months now and never used it drivers lisence as well just no car would anyone be willing to help me out I'm 25 just trying to help myself to help others to help society itself especially those who want the help please I am trying and willing it's hard enough yet we will not give up we all will keep going no matter what we all will succeed this is a statement for help also. A short prayer because I know someone somewhere would love to here this so If u needed this it was meant 4 you safe safe people and never give up so keep going

1 - it's been 13 months

They wouldn’t be able to carry 7 cases of a 40pk water by themselves to the 5th floor though .

I fell into the first category and am still searching; the Canadian market is stagnant, and nothing new is emerging.

3... soon to be 1. Contract work can suck.

3 - Laid off - Previous job was toxic with new management cleaning house. Read the sentiment in the room but that is very difficult being remote but knew something was up with manager and his manager transferred internally before I was laid off.

I'm not working ! I 'don't know what's going ! I"ve got my " Bag" certificate but I'm in jobless . ? ? ??

I'm in a hole but I can help

1) Unemployed

Unemployed

1 got laid off

I’ll say 2 because I’ve been in the valet parking industry for awhile and yea it’s good opportunities in the business but I’m just looking for a high quality skill job that I can build a career out of like trucking, sales tech, things like that. Any tips on how to get into industry that’s high quality skills that’s start you off without experience

3. The place I'm currently working is a career dead end with little to no room for upward mobility but unfortunately, I'm in tech so that's the new norm.

1.

I am 3 - I recently got my Master's degree and on top of that I am doing a lot more work for no additional pay. The work is more in the field of my Master's (Cyber Security), but doing help desk/analyst work AND cyber security work for less than $60000/year is not ideal.

1
But no one wants to hire me, saying they're "going in another direction", which means away from me. I've been unemployed since October. I swear I must be blacklisted from EVER getting a job!

3 - left where I was and moved in with my long distance partner. We now have a little one on the way. All to find out after going “remote” and the.n “optional hybrid” is going “required” hybrid basically after my paternity leave ends. So looking for alternate opportunities, but with the horror stories I’ve seen on here, I’m mentally and financially preparing myself to have to fly back to be in office occasionally because it sounds like A LOT of people have been applying excessively for long periods of time without any luck.

2 - want to transition into business analysis

Just got a three month notice of getting a full CPA holding replacement and they want me to train whoever they hire. Never been so demoralized in my life.

Definitely number 3. My current company has a very toxic work culture with poor practices, bullying, finger pointing, and horrible work life balance. I have no time to continue developing my skills because there is always some fire that they want us to slap some duct tape on. I want to be in a role with healthy work life balance, no bullying, and room to grow as a developer.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
