Today, I feel like many job opportunities are fake. After three months of applying, I haven’t received a single technical interview. Why is that? Is this normal for a .NET developer with data/business analysis skills?

There are a lot of ghost jobs being posted, and if you do a fast search you can find any number of articles explaining why that is. And it's just not a great job market lately. My guess is that a lot of companies are fearful of economic chaos that may come along this year, so they're not inclined to do a lot of hiring. I'm hoping things will pick up this year, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of optimism in the air.

That should be true..Play around AI and see how crazy it codes.

The market has changed and my impression is that .Net isn't as popular as it once was. Hiring has slowed down considerably since the Great Layoff last year. I interviewed for a job at the beginning of 2023, was rejected, and have seen that same job post continue to show up everyday on LinkedIn.

Also, outsourcing to China, India, and other countries where wages are lower has gotten more pervasive too. Big tech companies are setting up offices abroad.

As a Python developer I get interviews without trying much. The first thing I had to do was tweak my resume. The problem is that there isn't much hiring going on. A lot of jobs postings are just gathering resumes. And when you do get an interview, the number of applicants is just staggering. You need to find a way to improve your odds. Until then, I am going everything I can including working at a non-tech job.

Use zety (not free) or some other resource like canva for resume templates. Zety gives you template to choose from and also content related to experience. Keep your summary or objective crisp and short. Highlight relevant skills in skill section. Put metrics for your job like how it increased efficiency with automation by 30% or so. Download resume in pdf and word format to avoid blank spaces. Hope this helps

I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
