  • Millennial here, 100% agree. I’m very good at what I do in my field and have a chonky resume of experience. I used to get job offers unprompted on practically a weekly basis. Years ago my apply-to-interview-to-offer % was like 70%+.

    In the last couple of years this has shifted dramatically. I do not receive job offers unprompted, because they simply aren’t there. The number of listed jobs has tanked, the ones worth applying for i typically don’t hear anything back from, not even a rejection. One the other day I was told it wasn’t a real position that was open and was simply posted for some HR reason or some crap.

    Layoffs across the board are on the rise so there are more people than ever looking and less jobs available.

    It took my friend ~1yr to find a job after his last layoff.

    This person is in for a world of hurt…and frankly, I have zero sympathy for them specifically.
