It’s been three months since I was laid off from my remote UI/UX Designer role.

During this time, I’ve applied to multiple remote positions and, like many others, received more rejections than responses. Not even a single interview call yet which has been challenging.

That said, I’ve been using this time to sharpen my front-end skills alongside design, trying to grow stronger for the next opportunity.

The market feels tough right now, especially for remote roles.

Any other loan officers in here? I'm trying to decide if I should dig in with the current market or look to pivot. I've only been a loan officer since 10/2020. So this is my first rough patch. The style of leads my company provided was different than what they have me doing now. It went from hot inquiries to cold call center calls. My wife makes good money, but I don't want her to carry our finances for long as we are a team. What jobs could I look to pivot to if I pivot? Thanks fishes!

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?
