Over 150 job applications…..no one is looking to hire.
I can’t even mention how many jobs I’ve applied knowing perfectly well that I’m overqualified. I’ve even applied to part-time jobs, lower paying jobs, target, Starbucks, clothing, stores, furniture, stores, gyms, absolutely everywhere I can possibly think of, and I have gotten no response, or “not selected For This Job” emails.
I lost hope already. I hate the company who laid me off because they seem to think AI can do everything.

Thank you 🙏🏼

If you don’t know anyone at the company then firing off applications is a waste of time. Find out who works there, reach out to them, take them out for coffee and then you’ll have a leg up when applying.

Sorry for the laugh emoji but that’s actually a good idea, it’s just it made me think of how my father would do car trading when he was interested in buying a car. He’d come in with a dozen doughnuts for the employees. 😄

Follow up with the hiring manager of the lower jobs [target, starbucks]. I would go in person. Rather be denied showing initiative, better than receiving an email or nothing at all

How’s your husband doing?

I feel for you all! I’m sorta at a disadvantage because I can’t drive and have to depend on someone to bring me to work(I’m a little worried to take an uber) So I can only find place around my area that aren’t to far and it seems all those places I’ve applied to, aren’t even contacting me. There’s one drs office I see that I applied to is still is open on here and on Indeed. I can’t apply to it again but it keeps showing me it’s still open.
To the UM coordinator, you mentioned places like Target and Star Bucks, have u tried Publix? I think that’s gonna end up being what I have to do unfortunately. I hope a position finds you..

Darn…sorry to hear that. Indeed is a good app. My last job I got from there. It’s so rough out there…can’t help but feel discouraged 🫤
No, I haven’t tried Publix, but I will. Thank you 🙏🏼
I wish you the best of luck 🤞🏼

I applied for hundreds and landed a better job then I had, more $$$, less hours. Don’t let rejection get you down. I tailored each application to the job posting. Do the cover letter too!

Hello PwC AC Friends,

I have been on bench since I joined the firm 3 months ago. Now I have got project but still on bench. I have got mail regarding not raising snapshots because I was on bench so i didn't do anything except trainings and some learning. I don't have hours to raise snapshot for.

What shall I do in this case? I am very much worried that if i don't have any project hours to show, will they fire me or what actions are supposed to be taken ? Thanks.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
