I’ve been applying to jobs left and right with no luck. Not even getting an interview. Anyone got any tips? Even just a foot in the door would be nice.

Get in touch with any professional acquaintances you may have, former coworkers, friends from school, whoever else. Let people in your circle know you're looking, sometimes people will know of something. Or they can steer you to someone they know who might know of an opening. In other words, network all you can.

Agree with TM1. Network. If you see a job posting, try to find someone at that company to internally refer you. Use AI to tailor your resume to each and every job.

Perhaps try looking for temp work. You could create a lasting connection from that. Try to reach out directly to hiring managers also. Otherwise, keep applying. All the best!

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

Hi everyone, I have endorsed a friend and he is in consideration for a role as a CSE. How long does it take for the interviews to start ?

JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.
