Is it just me or is it incredibly hard to find a job right now? Anyone know of any jobs actively hiring around the Orlando Florida area or remote? Specifically involving sales, customer service , or entry level tech support.

Definitely not just you OP. I have been searching for a new role for 6 months now and have only even had a handful of interviews. I used to get interviews so easily but not in this job market. And it seems like more and more people are getting laid off and there aren't enough jobs to go around.

Yes that is the case....6 months+ for me MANY MANY interviews many many applications still looking

It is an oddly difficult job market right now. It's strange because the economic numbers aren't that bad, but companies seem to be stuck in neutral, unafraid to hire people and move forward. Best approach is to stay persistent, and approach companies directly, write a good cover letter, and customize your resume within reason.

I had been applying like a mad person since April every day sending out hundreds of applications a week at least. Went on a million interviews only to get no offers. I just received a job offer last week and I start tomorrow!! 😃

It took longer then I expected but unfortunately this is the job market right now. Everyone’s going through it. It’s horrible. I don’t wish this on anyone. But you just have to stick your nose to the ground and keep grinding. Eventually, something will stick!

Have you worked in any type of senior living sales?

I don't have experience in senior living sales, but sales in general has been pretty much all of my job experience. im eager to try anything

man im just trying to find something to put food on the table. I get denied however for driver helper positions, rep positions in my old industry, etc. Overqualified for most and slightly under qualified for the job you want or exactly qualified(and there's so much competition that you don't get in the door). It's weird.

Hi, after doing project and program mangement for 6 years I joined EY GDS last year with high hopes, but soon I realised that nothing is done at EY GDS on the name of project management.

So I am planning to move out, any guidance and need help for referrals.

I had a performance evaluation last week where I completely fell apart. When asked how I was doing, I responded that I was overwhelmed with work and with the personal animosity of my para who called me a bitch to my face. The partner said that the para is not very good at their job and that I should care a lot less what she thinks of me. I feel like the response was deflecting the issue - she was a bad hire in the first place and more money needs to be spent on staff. Am I off base?
