Is applying for a job worth the time right now?

[Filthy_Immigrant]

everywhere I apply I either get ignored or get told "we decided to move forward with other candidates"

this shit has been enraging me for months. everyone keeps on saying that the job market is really bad right now hence why I and everyone else who is job hunting right now getting the results.

Sounds like you might be applying for the wrong jobs if you are repeatedly getting turned down. Reevaluate your skills and experience, and think about what other jobs you might want to apply for.

I'm applying for cybersecurity since I took a course on that on June and finished it on September. obviously I'm not going to apply for that here in my state cause literally all cybersecurity jobs in my state dont just expect you to have a bachelor degree but demand senior level of experience as well.

moving the fuck out of here is my first priority after I land that job

Well if you don’t apply you’ll never get a new job. So apply….. it’s always been hard finding a job unless you are in a career that is specialized. So don’t give up keep applying.

The job market can indeed feel challenging during certain periods, but persistence is key. My experience has shown that refining your approach can make a difference. Tailor your resume and cover letter for each application, highlighting relevant skills and experiences. Networking, even virtually, can open doors that online applications may not. Consider reaching out to others in your field for informational interviews to gain insights and possibly referrals. Remember, setbacks are common, but each application is a step closer to your goal. Stay focused and resilient.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things work out for you.

[Filthy_Immigrant]
