Is the job market that bad? Laid off in April and still haven’t landed a role. I will do second round interviews but then get ghosted and I send follow up email and still no luck. Resume looks good since im getting interviews and interviews go well since i move to second rounds but seems like it might be that I don’t have my CPA and most of the jobs I interview for are looking for 3+ YOE

The job market is dependent on your level. I was laid off in June and started a new job in August. In my case, I have a CPA, CITP and 14 years of experience. Get that CPA, take some free skills training and getting a job should be easier.

It actually took me less than 60 days to land a better job. Lost the job in April, got multiple offers. Currently working in a better PA firm, with a higher pay. Don’t have the mindset that it will take long, during the interview be positive and be confident that you are going to get the job.

Seems like it’s back to pre-2020 levels in terms of consistent opportunities for salary growth. Lots of garbage positions and resume farming is going on. Several companies interviewing candidates with no intention of filling the role. Companies are spooked and in a holding pattern, and where I work budgets are cut worse than they've been in years.

Are you applying for private or PA roles? Maybe your comp expectations are higher than what they’re willing to pay. Could be not a fit because of something mentioned in the interviews.

Recruiters have been a waste of time. I will talk to them once and they disappear after that. They send me the same positions months later and try to frame something that isn’t what it seems. They don’t even provide feedback of the interviews don’t go well. I have had better luck applying myself than working with recruiters

Same here, I’ve always gotten numerous calls for interviews now nothing. So quiet I’ve applied to over 80 positions even going as far out as an 1 1/2 hours away.

My resume, experience and qualifications are good. I’m not into sales and no medical/dental experience and seems like that’s all I’m seeing.

I have 15 yrs office Manager experience in construction and 5 yrs automotive accounting office.
Very discouraging, considering we just moved into a new home and unemployment rates are terrible, can’t live on that for much longer.

Yes. It’s bad.

Dadly, it's very bad

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
