Why is the job market totally different now? I used to get interviews with no problem. Even back in 2024, I’d hear back within a few days of applying. I just got laid off, and I’ve been at it for two weeks with zero replies. My resume is the same as it was when I was getting offers, so I'm starting to worry. Is this much silence normal now, or am I doing something wrong?

Employer market currently. The silence is normal, and you’ll have to work with your network to get referrals for a better chance. The only thing I’m not sure of is whether you should apply to everything or be selective, since it’s going to take time regardless.

I have seen this shift too, and it is unsettling. I do not think you are doing anything wrong. Response times are slower, pipelines are cautious, and silence has sadly become normal rather than a reflection of your value.

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
