This job market is terrible! So fed up of seeing the same vague adverts.

I am right there with you. I have applied to hundreds of jobs over the past 7 months and have only had two interviews total. It is beyond frustrating, especially when the government is reporting that more jobs are being opened up, but that doesn't seem to be true.

Yeah everything I seem seems like a copy of other listings! How can you stand out when everything in the advert is so generic

The repetition is exhausting. When adverts are vague and recycled, it makes the whole market feel performative. I have started focusing more on direct networking because the signal to noise ratio on job boards feels worse than before.

That's an interesting way to approach things, I do feel like roles are copying the same basic skills and format nowadays

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
