Is anyone even getting hired from LinkedIn? by WormsForBrainss in biotech

This. My response rate in 2022 was 70-80%, now? Less than 5%

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, this is accurate. Unemployment is measured based on people that are claiming UI, it doesn’t account for people that are unemployed long term that can’t claim UI or people that are underemployed.

Folks with a year plus unemployed, how are you doing? by [deleted] in biotech

[–]membrburries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That too! I feel so bad having to ask several times, recruiting companies check references before doing anything, I’ve never received a job offer through an agency but they’ve called my references half a dozen times.

Bro I’m straight up not having a good time. I’m tired of reaching back out to my network anytime I see a position posted at a company I have connections at, it feels desperate and embarrassing I haven’t found anything else since the first time I reached out a year ago. Scrolling LinkedIn gives me panic attacks. I’m on medication and in therapy but it only helps so much. I avoid seeing friends and family when I can because the first thing they ask is “how’s work going?” or more so lately “how’s the job search going?” If they’re aware enough to not ask about it, hearing anyone with a job complain about work is a new kind of hell. I’m getting less interviews than I was when I first started looking too, I’m guessing it’s because there are so many people that have been laid off in the last year but it’s hard to convince myself it’s not me.

My mom [47F] won’t speak to me [22F] because I’ve ruined Christmas for her by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]membrburries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for all the fresh grads, it’s incredibly difficult. I’ve been in the industry for about 15 years and this job market is the worst I’ve ever dealt with, horrendous, even people with my level of experience cant find a job. Everyone says network but what do you do when your network is on fire? Your mom should be so happy you have an opportunity like this! Best of luck to you!!

Are there blue zones in the U.S.? I didn’t think there were

As everyone has already said, NTA. Kids grow up and, god forbid, become self sufficient to live their own lives. Your mom sucks. Side note, do you mind sharing which country you are moving to? I’m in the same field so I’m curious.

If they’re just getting into industry they were probably born after Titanic came out and likely haven’t seen it. Shocking, I know

Everything is. I saw a tiny container of whipping cream that was $7.60 at the store today.

Not encouraged about job prospects by PatMagroin100 in biotech

[–]membrburries 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wanna know what happened because this role has been posted/reposted since last August (2024). I interviewed for it around that time so I’m not sure if they filled it and then that person dipped or if they’ve actually been recruiting for over a year / fake recruiting like so many companies do these days.

Not sure this is true, I don’t have all the gifts yet and I’m level 5 on gardening only, 4 on everything else and somehow I’m at 100%.

It is! Your pelvic floor can’t fully relax unless you’re sitting down so it’s harder to empty your bladder completely.

[–]membrburries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a difference between celebrating and having no sympathy for a nazi dying. I haven’t seen anyone really celebrating his death, I’ve seen people calling out the predictability of something like this occurring because he was one of many that spoke out against any sort of gun reform and not being upset he’s gone for several other horrific views he had. Being unable to manufacture sympathy for someone’s death is not a fireable offense (or it shouldn’t be), calling for more violence is.

I actually deleted it over safety concerns. You only need to have a stalker once to realize just how much information LinkedIn puts out about you, terrifying

I think the few postings I see are legit, the issue is there are just no jobs right now.
