This might be strange question to ask but i don’t know a better place to ask this question.
I moved to the US in 2022 and i applied to alot of QA roles back then i got tons of interviews scheduled and also a good amount of job offers, now i have been trying to find a new job since late 23 till now and i don’t even get shortlisted for an interview, i use the same resume format as before and also updated my skills experience etc but i can’t figure out why i am not even shortlisted anymore.

Its likely not you. Its a bad job market right now. When most recruiters are looking for jobs, you know its bad..

I honestly think it's the current market. Not only are there way more people looking for jobs due to all the huge layoffs, but it seems like companies are ratcheting up there hiring processes (or possibly trimming recruiting teams and it's taking way more time for the teams to get through incoming resumes).

I've been looking for Engineering and Manager positions for 6 months now, and only gotten 1 interview (which then oddly enough the hiring manager himself was laid off). Most companies take over a month to even let me know if my resume is getting passed onto the hiring manager.

I've also heard some folks talk about AI being used for resume review, so you need to target your resume for the AI instead of humans, but I have no idea how to even start with that short of just making sure the skills required for the position are highlighted skills you have listed clearly in your resume.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here.

I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.
