Hey there, let me tell you a story about my experience in the job market. I recently went through a rollercoaster of emotions and interviews that left me feeling like getting a job all comes down to luck and perfect timing. But fear not, I’ve gathered some insights and actionable advice that might help you navigate this tough job market.
### The Importance of Networking
One thing that stood out to me during my job search journey was the power of networking. Don’t underestimate the value of connecting with professionals in your industry, attending networking events, and using platforms like LinkedIn to expand your network. Sometimes, it’s not just about what you know, but who you know that can open doors for you.
### Research Your Target Companies
Before going into interviews, make sure to research the companies you are applying to thoroughly. Understand their culture, values, and the role you are interviewing for. This will not only show your interest but also help you tailor your answers to align with what they are looking for.
### Negotiate with Confidence
When it comes to negotiating your salary, don’t be afraid to ask for what you believe you are worth. Make sure to do your research on the average salary for your position and industry to come prepared. Remember, you deserve to be compensated fairly for your skills and experience.
### Stay Positive and Persistent
It’s easy to feel defeated after a rejection or a bad interview, but remember that each experience is a learning opportunity. Stay positive, keep refining your job search strategy, and don’t give up. Persistence pays off in the end.
With the right mindset, preparation, and a bit of luck, you can increase your chances of landing your dream job in this competitive market. Keep pushing forward, and I’m confident that you will find the perfect opportunity that aligns with your skills and goals. 🚀🌟
Good luck on your job search journey! Let me know if you have any questions or need further advice.
Yet we have been conditioned to hate government intervention in employment and that eliminating worker unions have made for a better workplace.
Except for a while in 2021-2022 when companies were actually desperate to hire and gave people a chance. Even then, a couple of things had to fall into place. I applied to one business on and off for 5 years, but I realize I didn’t really have the qualifications. Then, one engineer took early retirement and a few months later, they needed to hire someone for that role. I just had to keep at it long enough to get a job. Also, a short commute and good pay.
I got one job as a temp and applied “internally” and was hired as a permanent for it. I stayed there for 15 years.

The more rounds in the process, the more risk in the process…
I just got an offer at amazon and when someone asks how I say luck because my coworkers who were equally as qualified and sometime even further in their career had been applying for the past year with no luck
You’ve gotten offered three jobs since getting fired and have enough flexibility to be picky when something isn’t quite to your taste. It doesn’t sound like a ton of luck is required to make it for you.
It’s definitely luck because you can meet the job requirements, skills, experience but they will hire someone else for whatever reason.
I also believe a huge factor in this market is the competition is unbelievable. We used to only have to compete within our local area. Now, especially for remote roles, we are competing against ppl all over your country and ppl outside your country; hundreds, thousands of applicants. At that point, you have to be lucky enough to get your application in before you’re at the cut off mark where it won’t even be considered.
You are very correct.
Its like winning the lottery, the more you play the better your chances…
Currently searching for EL jobs out of college. A lot of it is luck. It’s a combination of applying at the right time to a position, who you meet, what there mood is, what day of the week it is, etc. Keep applying!
