Is it just me or is the job market depressing? I have easily applied for 100's of jobs and only had one interview (which I thought went well) and dozens of "we're moving on with other candidates". The interview I had was all the way in December and I've been ghosted since. I have revamped my resume and now I'm just sick of the process. Either I'm worthless even though I have committed 12 years to an industry that would translate into others or the job market just sucks that bad right

now?

It’s that bad. How did you revamp your resume? It can come down to the littlest of things right now. I’ve been applying for a couple of months and running into the same. Hoping that summer brings some uptick in getting a call back.

I have been applying for something that pays more for a year and a half now. I've only landed my second call back this week... (I have an interview, wish me luck!)

Good luck!

Absolutely get you, it’s so frustrating. The job market is brutal right now, and it really isn’t a reflection of your worth or experience. Sometimes it’s just bad timing or the system being broken, not you. Hang in there; your experience absolutely has value, even if it’s taking forever to land the right spot.

It’s definitely the job market. I applied to 5 jobs in the past month and only got one call back. Sometimes, it’s just the economy and other times it’s the company that is looking for a specific candidate to join their team. I wouldn’t take it to heart but I understand your frustration.

When drafting a brief or other submissions for court or arbitration, do you use words such as clearly, erroneously, etc. to emphasize certain points? Our managing partner says that we should, but all of the writing guides for litigators that I've read repeats the mantra "show, don't tell" and explain that most judges dread such words.

I know that the politically correct thing to do here is to do whatever the managing partner wants me to do, but I just wanted to ask for other ppl's opinion.

Anyone else getting pretty harsh feedback on your candidacy as a whole from Maria at applicant lab? I feel like I have a doable shot at my target schools based on gpa, gmat and essays but every time she reviews she suggests I have no chance. It’s been pretty discouraging.

Let say I am eligible for x amount in FBP LTA. And some y of x got deducted in a specific month, now that y portion is showing in FBP tab to upload the bill.

What if in case I have LTA bill which is exceeding x amount itself, do I need to raise reimbursement request every month th with same bill?
