What is with this job market? Can someone explain to me how I have over 10 years of experience, but I still haven't been able to find a job? I couldn't even get an interview leading up to busy season.

I’ve actually had similar issues. Very confused how even roles that would be a big step down in title aren’t at least going to the interview stage

10 YOE doing what? If you haven’t show any growth in that 10 years, then there’s your answer

A person's ten years of service should not be a factor in hiring decisions. A candidate who comes from an organization that continuously modernizes its systems and remains competitive will demonstrate the qualifications, technical skills, and expertise, as well as show loyalty to the success of the company. Smsh!

Where are you looking? How are you applying? Are you actually working with recruiters? Is your CPA license active? Have you done interview prep and gotten your resume reviewed?

I also have the same issue. I have been in my job for 17 years and received my bachelor's in accounting in 2022. I had a few interviews and nothing, but no matter what, I will continue to try, and you should too. It's about quality, not quantity, and some of these employers only focus on quantity. That's why the majority of candidates are jumping from one job to another.

Hey all,
So I’m currently interviewing for another position, to be a business development specialist at a relatively large tech company in PA. I have about a years worth of experience. Indeed estimates the salary to be between 60k-80k, I was wondering what I should expect?

The place I'm interviewing with is asking for a writing sample. If something is public record, can I use it without my current company's permission?
