Its been almost a year and a month that i have been jobless. I was part of the layoff in my previus organization and somehow unable to find another job. Is the market that bad that no calls are coming. I have aalmost a decade worth of experience in project management. Been a project manager for over 5 years.

My wife is an HR and from what I hear, getting a job within 1-3 months of layoff is super important. Any further delay makes you less desirable as a candidate due to the gap and there is a surplus of immediate joiners which are either on notice period or have recently quit which get preferred. I hope that gives you some perspective.
What is working for people is to approach the hiring manager, HR or some other high ranking employee through LinkedI, etc., and get noticed in the hiring process through reference, that should help 👍

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked!
