I worked for an automotive company in a management role for more than 15 years, and unfortunately just got laid off two months ago.
The situation is all the jobs (approx. 200+) I have applied, I don't even receive one interview.
I asked most of my network, I contacted many recruiters, I just don't get interview.
How to get a job? Why it is so difficult?

Feeling grateful as I wrap up my HR internship with GAOTEK! It’s been such a valuable journey—working remotely, gaining hands-on experience in recruitment and onboarding, and growing more confident in my HR skills.
It wasn’t always smooth—working across time zones and limited feedback was a challenge—but it taught me to take initiative and trust my instincts.
If you’re just starting out in HR and looking for remote experience, GAOTEK is a grea…

Dealing with call outs
I’m curious if others experience noisy co workers even management asking why you called out. And what do you say? I’m personally starting to find it annoying. Does anyone else find it annoying and what do you say?

Please wish me luck, or say a prayer for me! I am praying for all of us out there, particularly those of us in our mid-50s searching for a new role in which we can be happy, fulfilled and grow our careers (those of use not close to retirement)!
I am so tired of the rejection and tomorrow's interview seems like such a great position. I am trying hard to stay confident but it is not easy, since I have been rejected for so many roles.

I got a job offer from a large financial institution!
Part of me wants to celebrate and jump up and down, and then the other part of me is cautiously optimistic. The offer is contingent upon a successful background check. I have a misdemeanor back in 2009 when I was young and stupid. This misdemeanor has nothing to do with banking, theft,…

I’ve been out of work for over a year now with over 500+ apps sent out. It’s really rough out there

the economy is slowlly recovering but it seems, since Covid, that the entire hiring process across the spectrum is frigid. Unless you want a job making $15/hr. Try to stretch yourself beyond your specific area of expertise- you have alot of skills from your prior work and I think you will find something when you start applying and making the resume a bit more general (for some applications). A friend in similar situation ended up getting hired at a family owned (but very successful) company and she's never been happier. God bless you! (I've lost my job twice in the last 6 years, and it's rough. I've learned that nothing in life is guaranteed, and I am a far less consumer these days).
