Ladies, I'm starting to lose hope. I've either been getting rejected after the initial screening call or just getting ghosted, and I've been unemployed for the last 8 months now. I have a great work history and pretty good experience, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any advice on what has helped you land interviews? I could really use the help.

Are you using the help of a recruiter? I really think you need to do that if you're not. I spent way too long applying independently, and it wasn't working out. A month after I got the help of a recruiter, I landed my first gig.

Totally get it! The job market is brutal. What’s worked for me is tightening up my resume to highlight KPIs and results, optimizing my LinkedIn with keywords (i.e. sales, sales development, etc.), and directly messaging hiring managers. Also, track your apps and follow up after a week. It's like the search is a sales pipeline. Best of luck!

I had started looking outside of what I normally applied to. Different industries, different roles, just casting a bigger net. Still took me a while, but finally I got into a job. Do what you can to put your best out there and keep trying!

The economy! Ppl are afraid and are saving $ however they can, sometimes tolerating an empty slot on the roster.

Ofc someone on the inside is suffering with extra work!

OP, how’s it going?

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!
