They don't understand.

My boyfriend has sent me many job leads and he tells me that something should come up. But I don't think he realizes how the job market is at the moment. It's not that I'm not trying it's just nothing is even coming up for me no matter how many applications I send out I also hear people having this issue as well. I have applied to so many places and I have gotten nothing. I have explained this issue before to people but I guess they don't believe me.

Absolutely agree with you. The job market at the moment is beyond fucked. Between the chaos in the US, the war in Ukraine, Brexit, and AI, there is just so so much uncertainty and companies are extremely fearful of any expansion at the moment. So they are only hiring internally or very sporadically and gingerly.

@Sandcastler No, I've worked many customer service jobs but nowadays they do 3+ round of interviews for minimum wage and they don't end up giving you an offer. That's why I think they're just playing with people. I'm hearing the same issue from others as well.

@disturbedchicken Oh yeah damn I bet customer service work has gotten really difficult to get since AI got involved. Do you have experience in sales? Might be an idea to pivot to sales/outreach since that's way harder to automate

@Sandcastler I have somewhat. They usually never turn anyone down but what I dislike about most sales jobs in California is that they are commission based.

It took me 14 months to find the job I currently have. It’s definitely tough out there right now

@yugimotodm That's cool. I haven't found anything for a year now.

@disturbedchicken I definitely feel for ya. Hope you find a job that matches what you are looking for in your career

@yugimotodm Thanks, I hope so too.

Might be in for a wait, but in time one of those applications should come through.
