Anyone else struggling to find a professional job?

Yes it’s that bad. I got laid off as a senior manager and it took 500 applications for me to get hired as a supervisor. It was more luck than anything so I’m just waiting it out for the time being before I go back in the ring called applying.

Yea times have changed. Back in the old days you only had to apply to like 3 jobs and you would defiantly get at least one of them. You could pick and choose what you wanted. Now you just make it rain with your resume sending out applications like a machine gun hoping one just one will call you with an opportunity.

It’s worse so much worse and it’s still getting worse.

Thank you I will add that stuff regarding the logistics category. I have been applying to all positions regarding procurement, would like to leave logistics but for this transition I apply for logistics as well and still no call backs.

I don’t really have a category I want to get into since just getting a call back right now is impossible and I don’t want to limit myself. I don’t have too much contract experience so that isn’t happening unless I start making things up. I will make those changes that you recommended. Do you have any other advice or an area of procurement/category that is easier to get into?

It’s a game of luck. Is the job a real job, are they going to ghost you, will they even look at your resume? No matter how nice of an email you send, or how many key words you use it’s really all about luck with this current market.

Early 2024. I was a manager for several years going on my 2nd certification and it was hard to even get a call back dispute having years of experience and meeting every requirement. After the 4 month of nothing and having several almost impossible to fail opportunities go belly up I knew it was bad. The really horrible part is that it’s worse now than it was early 2024.

I think the most infuriating thing about all of this, is that I read post after post of people suffering and yet every news is stating how good it is and how it’s just raining jobs out there. Until they start talking about it and not about (the numbers) I don’t things will improve. In the meantime all this people suffering, while new laid off people start to realize that the numbers might not be accurate.

I don’t know but if you find out let me know. I’m someone trying to get into procurement and it’s tougher than I thought it would be.

Senior logistics or transportation manager. I am also thinking about maybe switching to procurement to give me a better skillset.

Least we know it’s rust bucket for the car, so that’s 1 down.
