Only 40? Those are rookie numbers. I am at several hundred over the span of 6 months, had three interviews, and 5 recruiter calls. I am only applying to roles that fit my experience and that I can genuinely be successful doing. Savings is gone and our house is on the market.

The market really is that bad.

I am the same, experience isn't cutting it anymore, to get an interview is great' ive learnt over the last three months, to make sure the job is right for me, the interview desperation is the new woman that is sitting before them they are playing GOD' instead of the confident go getter. This job searching is sole destroying 😫 its making me as an individual feel worthless

Sounds about right.

I’m sorry to hear that. Are you in LI? Recruiters are the way to go.

I have heard never to thought an application online to always network and reach out to somebody already working there and get a recommendation

If they actually respond to you. I have a SENT box filled with 100s of non responded to out reach.

I have been looking for job for 2 + years. The amount of times I have been ghosted is outstanding. The no response to my resume, not even a generic NOPE doesnt exist. This job market is truly disgusting. And when people say, well you wouldn't want to work for them anyway, well that doesn't help me pay the bills!

Get SI loke Claude, yo do resumes and cover l Rd tters for yoy. They can make them pretty impressive
Loke the guy said beloe, otd sbout numbers. Ask God to jelp you land s Job. Hr will
He did it for me.

You are definitely not alone. I know people with solid experience who are sending dozens of applications before hearing anything back. Networking and direct outreach seem to be working better than applications alone right now.

Hi,
I just had one hr call with some company. In that she kind of scared me if I'm not happy with the figure she mentioned she would drop the further process now. I got afraid and agreed but now I don't want to agree to that figure and I want to negotiate more. How this can be done. What ever I'm expecting is as per market standards n expecting 50℅ hike as fixed component. How should I get this done? I checked with other employees and my expected figure is completely normal.
