In the last two weeks, i’ve seen a 300x increase in interviews. Is the market improving?

Based on your single data point, it seems clear that the job market has improved by 300x.

Coach, that would mean the activity picked up by an undefined number. Get some math coaching :)

So you had at least 300 interviews in last 2 weeks? Assuming you had 1 interview in the past. Even a 30-min average, you spent 150 hours over 2 weeks over 40 work hours per week. Sounds impossible but impressive.

in the last two weeks I’ve also seen my weight go down 10 pounds does that mean the US average weight is getting 10 pounds skinnier?

I’m not saying it’s a representative sample size. I want to hear from other similar observations. Do you have a similar observation to share here? Do tell.

I’ve noticed similar, but this sort of data is lumpy. Also - we’re beginning to emerge from seasonal/cyclical lull - doesn’t mean the secular trend is up

I definitely noticed an uptick of calls and emails between late January and February than from October of last year through December when I was applying for roles. I just accepted an offer last week. Took 5 months and 20 days in total of an aggressive job search.

Can't say I did much different these last 2 months than what I'd already been doing. I'd say beyond timing and asking people you know about about openings and those people reaching out to their networks, I'd say play around with your LinkedIn headline and top skills section (often) and list skills/keywords that recruiters will most likely type in when looking for candidates with your background. The same way you search for jobs via keywords is the same they look for candidates. Eventually something will stick and you'll start coming up in their searches and seeing more profile views. The job I got wasn't even one of the many I applied or was referred to. They messaged me on LinkedIn go figure.

Same! maybe because I used AI to get pass ATS?

Are you applying for similar roles?

It’s normal for hiring to increase at the start of the year after teams get their hiring budgets

No, more unemployment, more activity.

What, did you go from 1 interview everything 3 months to another interview this month?

While I’ve seen similar, I’ll note that all of mine seem to have stalled - not rejections, but holding patterns and foot dragging citing demand

Adding this because I find this type of information helpful. Went through the interview process with Meta. They moved quick. Recruiter, hiring manager, and full loop all in a two week period. (I know this was fast because I’ve interviewed with Meta before and it was more like a month between hiring manager and full loop). I was told I would hear in 2 weeks or so on a decision. During this time I got another offer. I let meta know the update. Was told I was top pick but had to wait for…

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
