@j.t.odonnell: New JOLTS report proves why it feels IMPOSSIBLE to get a job right now… 🚦📈🚦📈🚦 No, you are not crazy, it is extremely difficult to get a job right now. In fact, I would tell you it’s harder than the recession of 2008. Today’s JOLTS report from the government shows that there are a lot fewer jobs available and far more people are staying in their jobs. The result is 1.3 jobs per unemployed person. But, the unemployment rate doesn’t properly factor in all of the unemployed individuals out there right now. In short, it is very challenging to get a job and you need to be kind to yourself and manage your expectations. In this video I talk about how I am helping my clients get jobs in spite of this crazy job market and the technique that seems to be working best. ##JOLTS##jobsearch##impossible##job##jobseeker##hard##jobposting##jobinterview##interview##jobsearchtips##careertok##jobtok##careeradvice##work##report##career#greenscreen
It’s hard to move internally at companies as well.

The difference between now and 2008 is… Tech / AI / remote work. Yikes

I applied to hundreds of positions, even in food service and retail, to no avail. It truly makes you feel worthless. I have tons of experience and it feels very debilitating.

I owe you my continued marriage. Without your perspective, my wife would have killed me during my 6 months unemployed. I did land back at my previous employer through a back-channel contact.

Hiring managers literally want a 200% match of skills versus job description. No wiggle room. Constant ghosting. Time wasters. #FrustratedAsHell

The problem is nearly everyone is backchanneling right now too. It’s not much better than cold applying in this market.

And this doesn’t even include underemployment… I’m a CPA and I could get an AP clerk job but that’s extreme underemployment. Sucks out there!!!

Just lost my third job in three months and these people are flipping nut jobs and I’m talking about the employers. Last employer broke multiple laws in front of me. I was relieved but still.😳
