The job market is brutal, I’m struggling. Two years unemployed after a layoff. My recent jobs were short stints so my resume sucks. Add in another layoff a few years ago. I’ve tried to use my LinkedIn connections, I’ve networked, I’ve done cold outreach. I’ve lost everything - savings gone, 401ks gone. I’m 46, single, no kids, and I’m fearful for my future. I’m willing to relocate. Tried exploring other careers. Tried agencies. If anyone is hiring or has a lead, LMK. Thank you.

Not to redirect your focus but have you explored freelance? Could be a good way to get some money coming in the door while simultaneously test if you like it as a permanent thing. I’ve worked agency side, brand side and now am freelancing if you want to chat

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?

I am looking to leave my current position due to not having the opportunity to run campaigns and earn experience.
However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.
