This job market blows! I've been unemployed for over a year. I have applied to 1500 jobs at this point. I'm tired, I just want to go back to work and be able to pay my bills!

I’m sorry to hear that, I had looked for 8 months back in 2024. What I would suggest is going off your network versus applying to that many roles. I found this much more effective when I leveraged my network and then from there looked at company websites and roles directly versus on job postings. Also, utilize a few recruiters. One got me an interview but my job ultimately came from networking and applying directly to the roles :)). Good luck 🙏

Are real people actually looking at resumes anymore? I’d look into tailoring your resume to what AI is pulling. There’s some info about it online.

You’re applying for the wrong jobs

How so? I am applying to jobs I am capable of doing, that I have experience in.

My husband is in a similar boat. He's found that adjusting his resume to how AI scans resumes gets more views. Research the role(s) you're looking at, the tasks and qualifications you match with, and use that terminology on your resume. Current generation gets bashed for "supposedly" not wanting to look people in the eye anymore and shake someone's hand, yet we're the ones blocked with virtual AI recruiter recordings answering automated questions.
