I’m Getting pretty disheartened these days. I have a job but want to get out. I’ve been applying to jobs that is a step up but it’s just too competitive out there. I feel like I match the requirements a lot but then I barely get an interview. Is it still this bad for everyone or am I just not doing something right?

I think we're all in the same boat but like me you're lucky because you've got a job you can rely on for the time being... Just keep at it!

Yes, it’s just as bad. I honestly can’t put my finger on it. I chalk it up as there being too many hats in the ring, it’s VERY competitive and there’s not a whole lot you can do to set yourself apart since they’re probably seeing double the resumes they’re used to

I've been looks big for ANYthing for 5mo and I can't even get a foot in. So, the fact that you HAVE a job is a blessing. Whatever job you have is better than nothing, trust me.

Remember, maybe it’s time to think about other things you can do when you like and make a pivot

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week.

I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
