Am I the only one who thinks this is sketchy? I applied online to a small company (they exist-I've done my research). The next day I received a request to answer a few questions while recording myself via video. I have concerns about data and privacy and I have no idea how the videos will be used or stored. I also think this is potentially a way for them to be biased without having to "meet" me. Thoughts?

Once you break the cycle of negative feedback in your mind, you can create a positive environment in your surroundings. Let the good things happen.

I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out. We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see! Good luck to all job seekers!

I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions! It made me think to leave a doc that I am in, too, which is all remote positions that are updated every month! https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1IUUwdEw0RjTftvJv3LTA-7XIICaufCB1-7hmSVmzP28/mobilebasic?pli=1&usp=gmail_thread

I've been searching for a new job for the past two years. I am a senior-level program manager with more than 25 years of experience. I've posted my resume on LinkedIn, Dice, Indeed, Monster, Careerbuilder, Glassdoor, you name it. In the two year span, I've had about four interviews. Three have gone to the second or even third round just to be told I was not selected, or never to hear from them again. Some of the interviews have gone well. I never get a reason for the no. I recently had a recruiter call me and say he was sending over a job, but he never sent it. That happened a few times after a phone call. I know you're thinking, 'Is it possible that I'm not professional over the phone?' I assure you that is not the case. I worked for many years as a receptionist, answering the phone and providing customer support. I've updated my resume as asked by multiple recruiters, I've used the AI tools recommended by LinkedIn. The only thing I have not done and refuse to do is pay $5000K to hire someone to find me a job. If I am looking for a job, I can't imagine spending money to get money. Maybe if the salary I am after was $500K or more, but I am not there yet. I thought it had something to do with the salary or the rate, but I am asking the market rate for my experience and the role. At this point, I honestly believe it has to do with my race. I've watched other PMs with less experience, from the same companies I've worked for, who I trained, get jobs. I am happy for them of course but there is no reason for me to be sending my resume to the recruiters and not even hearing back at all or not getting one offer. We never want to believe race has anything to do with it, but I had more luck when I removed my picture from LinkedIn, and I did not answer my phone, but forced recruiters to email me. But then came the video call, and I never heard from them again. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what is wrong with my resume. This has become so frustrating. I am not at the age to retire but I am ready to give up. I love what I do. Support customers, teams, delivery all of it, but I cannot keep trying and adjusting for a world that refuses to accept me.
