I've been applying for Admin jobs for months now and no one is responding, I don't know if its because they wanna low ball the salary or are they being really picking with the requirements?

Unfortunately the new normal seems to be not hearing back from jobs at all these days. I've been ghosted a few times recently after talking with different companies. Keep your head up and keep applying, something will eventually work out!

If you're not getting responses, you may want to rework your resume in a way that is clear and concise and will make it through the ATS filters.

If you're not getting offers and you think it's due to salary expectations, you may want to reevaluate what your ask is to make sure it aligns with the market, industry, your experience, etc. If I can avoid it, I don't put a number on the form when submitting my resume. That way, I can research the salary range for the role at the particular company to determine my ask without lowballing myself. In the phone screens, I ask if they can share the range. Most have been able to share the range, which is helpful. Once I know the range, I give my number.

But, unfortunately, even if your ask is within range, they may end up choosing the candidate asking for less, especially if their skill set and experience are comparable.

If you're not hearing back that may not mean a lot. A lot of companies have gotten pretty rude about not responding to people. But your mention of them perhaps lowballing the salary seems to indicate that you're discussing the salary at the outset. Perhaps it would be wiser to meet with them first before discussing salary.

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?
