I am experiencing "we are eliminating your position to go back to pre-Covid numbers" job layoff.
It has been so frustrating after being at me last job almost 2 years and being let go. Now, I'm back in the job market and have found that more than 90% of the jobs I want to apply for, they want degreed people. They aren't even willing to look at job experience. Thanks and just venting!

I'm sorry to hear this! Yes, I heard too, and read, experience is okay and no degree. Some states are doing this. We are in Alice in Wonderland for 3+ years. Yellow pages are possible employers, temp agencies. Networks. Start your own gig. I been through a lot myself with the job stuff since 2007. Get steady on a job and then they decide to make it harder for Americans. Sorry, I'm venting now.

I cannot understand why your experience isn't a qualification in lieu of a degree. Perhaps going forward, look for positions that degree preferred instead of required.
