I hate getting those emails. It always felt like a kick in the nuts.
They phrase it nicely, so its more like they stroke them first before eventually kicking them
Job market is really bad rn
when was it good
2021?
More like in the 90s.
hmm
define good?
just simple as supply and demand or anything specific?
Many companies struggle rn, for various reasons (also depending where you are) so hiring processes are super selective. HR people often don't understand the jobs and what skills are needed so they simply go for x years of experience. When I was looking for my last job I think I had around 50 or 60 rejections. It's frustrating, but keep going. It will work out eventually.
It was awesome the last time I was looking for a job, summer 2008. Oil was $147 per barrel, GWOT was in full swing, the stock market was up and all the old hands were cashing out.
Any warm body with an engineering degree could walk into to the consulting business, learn it on the job and make $75k a year.
Good times, until the November crash.
I got laid off 3 years ago and I had 6 interviews in the first week. I got laid off 2 months ago and I'm struggling to even get rejections, since they mostly ghost you.
