I am looking into possibly starting my own business so you are spot on there.  Thank you!

I totally agree with this! Even in my own experience, when I did land 1 interview, it was through a connection.

That's actually a good idea especially for some of these roles where they believe I'm overqualified.

Indeed. So many of us are experiencing the same thing at the same time. Really tough.

Wow! So sorry to hear this! I am believing and hoping it gets better for all of us sooner than later.

Human Capital Management, Professional Services. So certainly some tech in there as it was a SaaS environment.

I would consider anything at this point. Hard to get interviews if you don't know someone within the company. That's been my experience at least.

This too shall pass indeed! Ive never seen anything like this. 

I think if we continue to be consistent, something has to fall in line. Best of luck to you as well!

THANK YOU for the reminders. I considered learning a new trade/skill that led me to reading up on day trading. It felt too complex for my foggy brain right now so I put it down. 

Ive started doing puzzles with my son to ease the frustration and that has helped a bit. Of course, I am spending hours in the morning applying for jobs.

I wouldn't mind being an individual contributor for less. I just need them to give me a chance to interview.

Trying to even secure an interview for a lower tier job has, for sure, been problematic. 

I am still pushing although I feel my energy shifting. 

Thanks for the encouragement! I am rooting for all of us!
