    As is becoming quite evident given the many posts on this forum, remote work is becoming scarce in the years since COVID. If you don't have a car, is public transportation an option?

    Remote work is going away. If this is a hard requirement and you're not willing to look into public transportation (as the other poster mentioned) you have some challenges ahead of you.

    Yeah I've been checking on hybrid positions.... but I'm also looking into places along bus routes

    Unfortunately most folks have been called back to the office so focus on opportunities that you can reach by public transit.

    Is it that you aren't getting interviews or are getting interviews but aren't getting offers? Depending on the answer, you can create a more strategic game plan. Also, are you open to hybrid? If so, that may open things up.

  6. Aaliyah Serianna Olson

    Both. I was getting interviews and no offers. But now nothing.

    So it sounds like your resume was getting you the interviews which is great! Did anything stick out to you about the interviews? Are you tailoring your resume for the specific positions? Also, are you actively networking/creating connections? There is a lot that goes into the job search process and it's figuring out at which juncture the focus is most needed to keep the machine moving forward. I know it's a lot but having some objectivity is key (which I know is SUPER hard when it's you!) so you can analyze the situation.
