I’ve been actively applying for jobs over the past two years without much luck, even to roles I’m overqualified for, just to secure something. I recently relocated from San Francisco to Florida and have been finding it difficult to land a position. Do you have any recommendations or preferred platforms you use to apply for jobs?

I’m born and raised in here in Florida. I have an associates in engineering technology with a CADD certification and have not been able to land a job in my field since I received them over a year ago. Remote or local, no luck. I’m shifting my focus to social media content creation as a profession. I have a niche following on IG and have been filming and editing all my own original content so I figured it’s a viable option. Best of luck!

Social media is the best way these days with this market. A YouTube channel or TikTok sounds good.

Not much for preferred platforms, but I’ve been trying to get over my bad luck with the job hunt. Trying to optimize my resume for ATS and just stand out more. Good luck. I know a lot of people are and have been struggling to secure a job.

Thats a difficult situation. You may want to try to volunteer to work somewhere in the meantime until you get your foot in the door.

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
