I'm feeling totally ghosted in this job market. I’ve sent out nearly 80 applications in the past month, mostly for mid-level accounting roles, and I’ve only had two interviews. My resume’s solid, I have my CPA, and decent industry experience but the silence is getting in my head. Is it just a tough market right now or should I be doing something differently?

I wouldn't assume you're doing anything wrong, that seems to be the state of the job market right now unfortunately. It's hypercompetitive and rife with ghosting. It's all a numbers game, just have to keep churning out applications and hoping for the best./

What’s your experience and what are you looking for?

Even when it wasn’t about the job market looking for the right job from both the employer and employee takes much time and many many applications regardless of a strong resume. Every time I landed a job I had to go through 100s of application before that. Patience and resilience is key

It's a really difficult job market currently. It can be tough to just get interviews. If you're getting some interest that probably indicates that your resume is strong. But it's always a competition when you get to the interview stage. All you can do is remain persistent and make sure you best the other candidates during the interviews.

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
