Bro Our Job Market Is SO Bad Discussion

3+ rounds of interviews that stretch on for months.

< 60k pay for MANAGEMENT POSITIONS.

Endless scam listings.

Being ghosted by recruiters and hiring managers after multiple interview rounds.

I am tired. Send help. I hate it here.

Edit: I am not un-employed. Thank you to those reaching out with job postings, I do really appreciate it.

I currently work as a mid-senior manager in the supply chain/ecomm space.

Hard agree.

I am actually in the pool for two positions with the state/Metro right now. I made it to the final round for a position last year, but the whole process took almost four months.

Sometimes positions will take a month or I have seen some go 5 months. Just depends on the type of position and also the specific hiring department is the main factor. Some drag their feet, some will post a job then hire several people from the same list. Don’t loose hope best of Luck. Once you’re in civil service, it’s pretty much impossible to get fired unless you get put on Scoop.
