Luck and networking get you farther than skill does. If you want to get a job, having friends in high places works better than showing off talent.

Been looking for quite awhile. Never been without work ever in my life. It's wild.

The employers seem to be looking for unicorns… I’m looking for a magic wand to remove the “invisible walls” that seem to be getting in the way!!!

Why do I have to create an account with a company just to apply for a job? Then fill out all the same information manually that is on my resume? Waste of my time.

I never envy the unemployed. Few things in life, such as a divorce or the death of your own child, would be more stressful than being unemployed.

Still my mom keeps telling me I’m lazy for not finding a job . Her audacity is ridiculous.
@famousibarra1
Redid my resume to limit the ageist rejections and I at least got a few more interviews! Hoping I can land one soon. Fresh off another Friday afternoon final round rejection email.

"Applying for jobs can't be your only way of jobhunting." So how else am I supposed to jobhunt? Do I just put a dollar under a box held up by a stick and try to trap a hiring manager?
@IlluminumTarot
There's a massive parallel between the dating and recruitment worlds. Both are experiencing sharp declines in productivity and quality due to one or both sides pretending they have all the options in the world, while producing zero benefits for the other... Sometimes operating with impunity. Simples.
@veronicalett8098
What is going on with companies pulling job offers stating they simply changed their minds and are no longer actively seeking to fill the position after ridiculously long interview processes? This seems to happening far more frequently than I've ever seen.
@redstarthunder12
I know a guy that posts remote jobs but wont say it's remote. During the interview they just say "surprise it's remote is that ok?" and of course everyone says yes. Simply cause they get over 2K applicants for a remote position as opposed to a few hundred for a regular job.

Companies are not ready to train employee. They want someone with the exact experience that they need, so that deliverables can be achieved within a month of joining. Whats funny is that they would keep on interviewing more and more candidates till this exact experience is matched - wasting valuable time and resource of the company which could have been well diverted to some basic training. In future this would create two issues, 1. As people move on, their knowledge base would vanish (only to exist in documentation) 2. These people would already bring in previous baggage. So these companies cannot claim that they have certain culture! Its a mess! On a lookout for job after PhD for around 8 months. No rejections, no offers (may be the same thing), nothings.

I think the truth is you as a recruiter are looking for the absolute perfect person with 20 years of experience that's willing to work for entry level pay. There's absolutely zero wiggle room for anybody but the person with every single qualification you want. So I feel you're missing up on so many amazing workers because someone fits the bill on paper.

I got laid off from my job assignment and the next day my local union found me work that has overtime opportunities. Make Unions Great Again

Keep in mind that we're only in the very early stages of AI also. Yet we have oligarchs constantly gaslighting us with,"Why aren't people having kids?!?"
@courtneicey15
It really does feel impossible. In a normal job market I average 20-30 unique interview processes per company until I land an offer. This year, I’ve only had 6 unique interview processes with companies-2 phone screens (didn’t move forward bc they didn’t offer relocation), 4 finalist round interviews, & 1 offer that I turned down due to a lowball offer (which I lowkey question if turning down was worth it since it’s been months & no luck yet with a better offer elsewhere). I’ve done so much with being proactive- networking , attending in person events, reaching out to recruiting managers & hiring managers, asking for referrals, etc and none of it has yielded results. There’s also not been much jobs to apply too. It’s frustrating and it feels like it’ll never end.
@ChrisPTY507
Because companies look for unicorn willing to put up with nonsense AND earn entry level salary
@ChicagoManIL7843
It has ALWAYS been difficult to get a job. Always meaning since Y2K. You need to know someone or just luck out and have the hiring manager like you. Has very little to do with skill.
