Maybe it's just me but I find that my resumes have been sticking a lot more in the last month or so. I got laid off last summer and found, a week later, that my wife & I were expecting. I have been searching since then and, as of the end of March, had only had 6-8 interviews and 1-2 where I was one of the last 2-3 potential candidates. Since the start of this month, I have been contacted by 8 different companies, had at least 7-8 Zoom/Teams interviews,

I have also had 2 in-person interviews in the last week with another scheduled for later this week. I really hope you guys are seeing the same uptick in responses and, if not, hang in there. I am still holding my breath for a formal offer but it actually seems like it may happen after 10 months! Don't give up and keep applying. The right person will see it at the right time.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
