Is the job market completely broken? I live in a huge metro area, sending out applications every single day and hearing absolutely nothing back. Even when I manage to land an interview, they just disappear afterward for no reason. Is anyone else going through this level of rejection?

You aren’t wrong at all. I put out over 120 applications last year and got two interviews and one interview turned into a factory job that landed me $700 per week. This is by being on your phone 12 hours a day constantly reaching and not giving up. Indeed did nothing for me. My tenure at fed ex off over 13 years got me a job.

It took me four and a half months and about 500 applications to land my current position in Nashville. I also went through 5 rounds of interviews, it's a tough job market at the moment. Keep going, even when you feel like giving up.

Same here. I opted to retire from a toxic environment, then my Mom passed, and now I'm selling my home so I can help my dad get out of his home, then I move to Oregon (from California). Been trying to get remote work to get it all done, but so far no go. I'm an only so all my challenges are mine alone, no help. Makes it hard. My husband & I bought our part-time home when we were both working & I lost him to AFIB 6/22/22. Packing up the house is hard with the 4th anniversary of that coming on Monday.

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon. Can my license be renewed without the original extension petition? Or do I need to wait for the originals to come in. Trying to understand what do I need to carry to the DMV. Based in CA. Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.

2. How often have you seen term positions converted to permanent? I’m considering turning this offer down due to this.
