So I have been unemployed for 6 months now. I apply everyday for everything I see. I am having no luck. Anyone got some tips for me? I’m feeling very much hopeless 🥱

Six months is rough and I’ve seen a lot of people hit that wall lately, so you’re definitely not alone in it. One thing that helped me was narrowing my applications a bit and tailoring them instead of blasting the same resume everywhere. It also helped when I started reaching out directly to hiring managers on LinkedIn or in person when possible.

That’s a really good idea! I’ve never thought of that! Thanks!

I'm right there with you 😞. I have no idea what to do at this point. I've been out of work for 5 months and am not even getting interviews. I'm looking at staffing companies to see if I could maybe get a contract job just to have some money coming in.

Yes literally I’ve been going to agencies but even they have nothing! I hope us both get a job very soon! Manifesting!!! 💖

See if you can reach out to a recruiter. A lot of companies have been outsourcing recruitment for certain positions. I’ve had a lot of luck through them

It really is so tough out there. Keep doing what you are doing, but also go old school and take your resume in to the manager. They will probably tell you to apply online anyway, which you should have already done, but at least gives them a chance to meet you and see your personality. That can make help make you more memorable.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars
