Kids aren’t getting hired either. I’ve got a 22 year old still trying to get hired but every job requires 2 years of experience.
I hope they are still applying! Many places consider college “experience”
It's horrible out there. Been 14 months for me. Got retrained in a new field and applying in both, but neither is hiring. I also have an Etsy shop that went from steady side-hustle income to nothing. I read interest rates are too high, so companies have put hiring on hold. I can't even get hired for a fraction of what I used to make. I'd walk dogs at this point but people can't afford a dog walker. It's really, really bad out there.
Similar situation for me. 8 months of being unemployed. 1% interview rate. Yesterday I was told that I was chosen to interview from 700 but they went with someone who was more closely aligned…and this was a freelance, part-time role!! Fractional or self employment might be the only way forward at this point
I graduated early 2023 and have been struggling to find work as well, so i’m not sure if they’re hiring new grads either. I’ve been wondering the same thing.
Hang in there, been in the industry for 11 years, and i have a job and am actively searching with no luck. Hopefully the economy turns around and feds lower interest rates, which directly impacts companies that are looking to hire. Don't give up! You've got the bullet points, just make connections on LinkedIn as much as you can!
To start with, maybe only 100 or so of those were even real jobs.
Have you tried finding a headhunter to get you a job? It's always easier if the jobs are coming to you instead of the other way around.
agreed..I've talked to 2 recruiters and they have no openings with anyone...they said this is the worst they've seen the market in 20 years
