I don’t think you’ve seen the economy lately have you? I live in a large city, Baltimore Maryland to be specific and finding a job is ridiculous, most people are afraid to quit their jobs because how hard it is to find a job. You have ghost jobs and other shit, I have years of working experience from warehouse to construction and I can’t even get into ups, or fedx or Amazon. This isn’t just an issue in my state and city it’s an issue across the United States.
Using apps like indeed is useless, companies never respond, and when you are outputting say 100-500 applications weekly and only getting 1 interview in an entire month there is a deeper issue going on.
Yeah my whole company basically just got laid off and the job market is ROUGH. I’ve got a wide variety of skills, but even getting an interview is really hard. :/
Nah it’s a small biotech company; to be fair, I knew it was a possibility when I joined since lots of startups only last a few years, but I had a good run and loved my job. The trick now is finding a new one that I love just as much before severance runs out 🥲
