Totally. I've been out of work 3 months and I'm doing everything I can to keep applying but it is taking the life out of me. finding a job is like a job in an of itself right now, without any pay!!

Nope. I’ve found over 6 jobs this month that have offered me a position. Update your resume?

Applying is not the issue- that’s easy. Getting any type of feedback unless you have an “in” /connection, is damn near impossible.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one going through this struggle. I've only received 1 interview this month and they told me the position wasn't even official yet.

Yep. Wait until you get an interview and they find someone more desperate.

It’s a disaster out there in software, but I’m comforted to hear you’re seeing trouble in trucking supply: that’s a bad sign of times to come for ALL salespeople who aren’t in the enterprise space.

I left the industry and became self employed after my previous employer underpaid top performance and then fought my unemployment claim.

It almost seems impossible to even get a call back at any point, and I'm in the service industry. You would think it would be at least a tiny bit simpler, but something hslas majorly changed.

It varies how places hire. I might have a job soon and only been out of work for a few months due to a move. One place did it all through email. I didn't get it it though. I'm not used to that at all. I had some phone interviews too but since covid19 the process has changed a lot.

The applying is the easy part buddy. Everyone can do that. It's the getting of jobs you may have a problem.
