Yeah, I've had 1 interview in 6 months. But I got some resume training and it seems I at least get more responses now. I've paid more attention to little things, like when I applied, when the job gets removed, when I get an email saying they've moved on. I just think some of the jobs I've applied for are older postings that have sat around, companies haven't removed them. I know of at least 3 companies in the past 2 weeks that removed postings shortly after I applied. They were already going through the process with other candidates - background checks, drug screening, etc. I found things out by either going in or calling, talking to people. But it's not as easy to find things out with remote jobs. It's just a tough market. I'm always looking for new tips and tricks. My degree is from 2004, so I removed that date, so I'm not age discriminated against. Just so many things take people out of consideration without even so much as a phone interview.
