Are you struggling with your job search? Applying for job after job and not getting any interviews? Perhaps you’ve got a few interviews but always seem to get passed over for the job? Or maybe you’re not satisfied with your current career and want a change. Well, you’ve come to the right place.

As a corporate recruiter with over 20 years of experience hiring thousands of employees at all levels into major corporations, I’m going to spill the beans on how to get noticed by recruiters, start getting more interviews, navigate through each step of the hiring process, and ultimately land the dream job you deserve.

But that’s not all - I firmly believe that to truly experience career success, you need to think bigger. Multiple streams of income and budgeting are crucial to forming a layoff-free lifestyle and helping you achieve your goals.

If these are things you’re struggling with, that’s what I specialize in. I’ve got a website called A Life After Layoff. It’s loaded with tips and tricks for getting noticed, interviewed, and hired by your dream company. Make sure you check it out!

The employers seem to be looking for unicorns… I’m looking for a magic wand to remove the “invisible walls” that seem to be getting in the way!!!

[sweetiepie]

Still my mom keeps telling me I’m lazy for not finding a job . Her audacity is ridiculous.

[chuckchan]

I never envy the unemployed. Few things in life, such as a divorce or the death of your own child, would be more stressful than being unemployed.

[hornal]

Luck and networking get you farther than skill does. If you want to get a job, having friends in high places works better than showing off talent.

[jackofminds]

"Applying for jobs can't be your only way of jobhunting."

So how else am I supposed to jobhunt? Do I just put a dollar under a box held up by a stick and try to trap a hiring manager?

[ChrisPTY]

Because companies look for unicorn willing to put up with nonsense AND earn entry level salary

[famousibarra]

Redid my resume to limit the ageist rejections and I at least got a few more interviews! Hoping I can land one soon. Fresh off another Friday afternoon final round rejection email.

[Castisto]

Maybe we should all start a career as a Youtuber, showing tips and tricks on how to be a professional Jobseeker.

[RJ_Games]

Ok so my comment didn’t appear so I’ll post it again. We should not blame “bad employees” when it’s the managers that are choosing to interview them. Yes the job market is more competitive but that doesn’t explain why so many companies have tons of job openings that aren’t getting filled. Or when they do get filled that person will only last a couple months to a year. We all know who the problem is. It’s a waste of everyone’s time, “qualified” or not.

[hotrodhunk]

I think the truth is you as a recruiter are looking for the absolute perfect person with 20 years of experience that's willing to work for entry level pay.

There's absolutely zero wiggle room for anybody but the person with every single qualification you want.

So I feel you're missing up on so many amazing workers because someone fits the bill on paper.

[IlluminumTarot]

There's a massive parallel between the dating and recruitment worlds. Both are experiencing sharp declines in productivity and quality due to one or both sides pretending they have all the options in the world, while producing zero benefits for the other... Sometimes operating with impunity. Simples.

[sagittariushenanigans]

I hate when you can’t even get your questions answered before applying for a job 😂😂

[christinajones]

Why do I have to create an account with a company just to apply for a job? Then fill out all the same information manually that is on my resume? Waste of my time.

[eXtremeFX]

Absolutely SPOT ON VIDEO!
I have a resume that has always beat the ATS systems... UNTIL 2024. ATS systems today have just caused a traffic jam of the right people not getting to the hiring manager. I hope one day a light goes on and HR says... ENOUGH!

[BOSSDONMAN]

Keep in mind that we're only in the very early stages of AI also. Yet we have oligarchs constantly gaslighting us with, "Why aren't people having kids?!?"

[jekku]

All of this - blah blah blah - the REAL reason is that everyone knows we're on the brink of a major job/financial/everything crash, so corporations - if they're worth their sale and have done their homework - have cold feet in ponying up more money for new hires. Just one woman's opinion. I am NOT a perfect unicorn employee. What I am is very hard working, very loyal (to the right company), willing to put in OT or extended hours if needed, with many years of experience behind me. Sure I may cost a little more, but unlike my younger counterparts, I am not one to job jump, or hightail it when their feelings get hurt, or because they think the grass is greener. Business is business, and it can be ugly. But I don't want social security just yet. I still have a lot to offer.

[jackcarraway]

I got laid off from my job assignment and the next day my local union found me work that has overtime opportunities.

Make Unions Great Again

[TheCoolOwen]

It has ALWAYS been difficult to get a job. Always meaning since Y2K. You need to know someone or just luck out and have the hiring manager like you. Has very little to do with skill.

[andyanaoutdoors]

Been looking for quite awhile. Never been without work ever in my life. It's wild.

[meowth]

The weird thing is I get to the interview part a lot. But then it’s like I don’t hear crap from them or get rejected after that part. Must be some secret overqualified zombies coming out of the ground after I interview or something.
