It’s such a downer going over all the jobs you’ve applied for via various platforms. Most of them didn’t even respond with a " No thank you brokie" lol. I am so tired of cold calling HR for a status update and again most of them you can’t reach and is told " if your resume matches you’ll get a response "😔😔. Truth is I’m TIRED !

I don't know what's worse, getting robotic rejection emails or just being ignored completely. It's better to know, I guess. But checking email first thing in the morning and being told you've been rejected is a tough way to start the day.

lol honestly I just roll over and roll my eyes . I try not to check emails till I’m truly up and running .

Seriously!!! The amount of times I've been just completely ghosted is insane. I'd honestly welcome a rejection email just to know my applications were actually getting seen.

I agree, no response is the worst. I feel that companies owe candidates at least a response

Hello, I’m looking for a part-time job in Birmingham. I’m reliable, hardworking, and available to start immediately. Please let me know if there are any opportunities available. Thank you!

I am convinced many companies are downsizing as a cost measure and to maximize profits and not planning to expland anytime soon. This means there are less jobs for all of us. Employers must feel really lucky to have such a talented pool of candidates. In reality, their goal is to eliminate labor cost as much as they can, which is why we see so much AI 👀

Im right there in the same boat. Over 30 applications and 2 interviews and no job.

Totally understand, that’s about the same I have here plus indeed , zip recruiter, company portals etc. lol smh

Is it really that difficult to get hired for a federal job? I was interviewed for a GS12 job but never heard back, they still didn’t hire anyone and I didn’t get a rejection. I applied for another GS07 job, was accepted, I took it, but I believe I can do better. I have a master’s and have extra graduate research experience. I am still applying to new jobs but I was told it is impossible to move up the grade level now. Everyone is telling me to stick with the government. What are your thoughts?

Hey, new to investing looking at initial mistakes I made. I have $1k in VOO, $7k in VT and $4k in VTI in my brokerage acct; in my Roth IRA I have $6k in VT and $7.7k in VTI. I know isn’t an ideal portfolio because many of these funds overlap. However I’m in for the long term and am willing to reposition to a strategy that will do the best over my life. Id appreciate to hear feedback on these 2 accounts and better approaches from others. Thanks!
