Great question. I’ve been off for 19 months from state government and am now facing homelessness. I’ve applied to 1200 jobs, tailored my resume (I worked for JFS and have expansive knowledge and understanding on how to do this effectively), sent follow up emails, have been told I’m overqualified or under qualified if I’m applying outside of my usual field. I recently started receiving the generic “we didn’t pick you” email which is nice because it’s at least a response. Of the 11 emails of that nature the job is reposted online.
This job market is scarier than the 08 recession- imo.
