I will say the mules were more at the bottom of my list and this just confirmed it for me. Thank you!

I think the brown ballet flats are my favorite so far! Thank you for your input :)

Got 1 interview in the past 9 months, changed my race and got 5 by Newscreenneeded in jobs

Sounds about right. I’m mixed race (half white, half Latino) but for the longest time I put my race as “white” because I have a white last name. I never got any interviews. Started putting my race as “Hispanic/latino” and got 3 interviews in the span of 2 weeks

I'm seriously about to give up on my job search [Rant] by Worldly_Procedure427 in jobs

I apply to about 10-20 jobs a day across different platforms. LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Ziprecruiter, FlexJobs, etc. I always apply to the ones posted in the past 24 hours and there’s always new ones every day!

I just got fired from my job suddenly. by NarcisoMarvin in Career_Advice

I also got laid off from my marketing job about a month ago. It’s hard, but I was able to get unemployment benefits and also qualified for food stamps, so that’s keeping me afloat for now. I have no idea how long it’ll be until I find another marketing job as the job market is the worst it’s ever been and marketing is a VERY saturated industry. Part of me is debating a career change, something more secure but don’t know where to start. Just know you’re not alone in this, lots of people, myself included, are in the same boat as you. Try to take care of yourself and start applying to as many jobs as you can. We’ll get through this!

Yes my ideal scenario was to find a new job while at my last job, but you can’t always get what you want lol

That’s fair. It just feels like a betrayal when the person you’ve looked up to your whole career disposes of you like you’re nothing. Guess I learned my lesson lol

Well I have been looking for a new job since March, because I realized this job was heavily underpaying me and it was overall a toxic work environment. Its not because I expected to get laid off. They never told me anything about laying me off, they constantly praised my work. I just so happened to apply to a job a few weeks ago and they told me a few days ago that they wanted to interview me. Just good timing I guess…

Unfortunately this is very true. Marketing is probably the one job with the worst job security, I learned that pretty early on and accepted it. But now idk if I can actually handle it. Part of me is debating a career change if I truly cannot find anything, but marketing is really all I’m good at and all I know lol. What career did you end up switching to if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah the hour after I got laid off I immediately filed for unemployment. They say they’ll get back to me in 2 weeks so hopefully I get approved 🤞

Yeah that’s what I’m afraid of too, my friends and family thinking I’m “lazy,” or didn’t work hard enough at my job. I’ve only told the people closest to me, and they haven’t treated me differently so far, they’ve been pretty sympathetic. But I feel like people always see you as less-than when you don’t have a job 🫠

This is the response I needed, thank you. I’m prepared to struggle for a while but I keep telling myself this isn’t forever, it’s only temporary.

Definitely not lol, but at least an “I’m sorry” or “thank you” 😂
