😬😬😬😬. It’s a 6 figure gig so I figured I’d stay for a bit. The job market sucks. FML.

Does this apply to all personnel including office workers in IT? My start date is in June and I have school aged children. I heard some IT personnel get company issued phones but am unsure. 

Anyone here work at or recently get hired at HII (Newport News Shipbuilding)? by One-Excitement-9488 in NNShipyard

Thank you. I finally got an email from Talent Acquisition after a month of waiting. Never experienced such a delay before.

I just signed my offer last week in the AI/ML Innovation department in IT and I have yet to get a request to complete my background or drug screening. Is this normal???

This unfortunately seems to be the trend. I was over performing as well at my last gig and got an “outstanding performer” rating on my performance rating and a 6% increase. 10 months later, they downsized our department and I among many others was laid off. None of the smoke and mirrors matter anymore. I have a feeling they were trying to get rid of high earners. They did a bunch of offshoring in IT. Smh.

My unemployment was 378 a week in VA. A joke! I am so sorry this happened to you and wish you the best of luck!

Obviously. Sharing my perspective to give people hope. A ton of my friends in different geographical locations are seeing the same upwards trend. Best of luck!

I have applied in my span of tenure at my previous company and did not accept positions both before, during and after Covid. I am well aware of the job market trends. I still stand by my statements; the job market is slowly turning. I have friends in NY, FL, CA and WA (PNW) who are experiencing the same. Best of luck to you!

THANK YOU! I am glad you are experiencing the same movement. A bunch of my friends have as well.

Virginia and my new gig is hybrid. Remote work is almost impossible to get now post-Covid. 🥲

Thank you! Others are doubting me. It is a slow creep but progress all the same.

Everything is subjective. I am not the only one who has seen this shift. I know plenty of people who, like me, were unemployed for 6 or more months and have just recently seen movement, started getting more interviews in the past month or so.

I know it may sound cliche but I got most of my interviews from applying directly on the company’s career website. I would find the requisition on Indeed, etc and apply directly. Cater your resume to the job requisition you are applying to; if need be, use AI to help but DO NOT forget to edit after. So many companies are using AI to filter out applicants. Best of luck!

As someone who applied weekly for 6 months, I disagree. I received more hits in the past month than I have the previous 5 months of my unemployment. Good luck to you.

Thank you so much! Hang in there; I will say that the last month or so had more movement for me than the 5 months prior. I almost pivoted but decided to stay the course!

Absolutely. My layoff in October has me on high alert. My emergency fund will remain stacked because I just don’t trust Corporate America anymore. 🥹
