*compared; and *significantly. FTFY.

Short answer: you can't. Beyond that, it is difficult to believe there are even 1300 applicable, senior-level (assumed given the 17 yrs exp.) job openings in an individual field.

Pretty unprofessional company. They did them a favor by ghosting.

All my close friends have good motivation and teamfit but cannot technically do my job. I'd probably swap 3 and 2. In fact, that's what I do. After CV screening, interview 1 is 10 min background, 40 min technical, 10 min q&a. I already know their personality at the end of 60 min. If anything, I would have 1 more encounter for fit, but more for them to judge about fitting in at my workplace. Why waste so much time?

Oh, neat!

Yeah, or…

Thanks! I tried breaking into Tech as a PM but most feedback said they wanted a tech background. I am in learning and development.

My wife was essentially ghosted after a second interview. The first was by Zoom. The second was a four hour interview/tour (it was a museum) followed by a question/answer session with current staff.

Until the second interview (the museum was also considering two others), they had been in good communication. Afterwards, radio silence. It was only after badgering them that she found out that she wasn’t being offered (by which point she wouldn’t have taken it if it was being offered).

And a few months later, the job was back on the market for applications. They took none of the final three candidates. And that job wasn’t filled for over a year.

Likely most of those were auto filtered rejections due to poor resume construction or the algorithm didn't detect enough key words.

74 phone screens is insane though. 50% success rate on phone screens does seem good to me.

I had 5 months severance and the other five from savings. I am lucky that I have savings.

"Nobody wants to work" yeah right

It’s an absolutely brutal market. Really makes you feel worthless, regardless of your pedigree or experience.

It’s called wage compression, don’t be mad at the fry cook, be mad at the plumber’s employer

Bro, this makes no sense 13-hundred applications? Are those just 13-hundred clicks on Indeed or what? Like when I apply, I investigate the best person in the company to email and also bring in a resume in person. May not be able to do that for every field, but I don't understand how someone can make 13 hundred quality applications.

You haven't been able to even get an interview in one of the periods with lowest unemployment? You need to visit an employment centre, get resume help and help with what jobs to apply for. Clearly one of those or more likely both are wrong.

Lol. Become a nurse. You can get hired in a second. Though finding a job where you want to work and aren't going to be thrown under the bus and slowly lose your will to live is the tricky part.

Yeah, it has to vary by what kind of job you are going after. I only had to put multiple applications and get denied when I was right out of college. Now, I am shocked if I put in an application and don't get an interview. And if I get an interview I know I'm going to get an offer. If I had bothered to put in 96 applications the last time I changed jobs I would have had too many interviews to actually realistically do. If I could somehow have done all the interviews, I probably would have had a 90% offer rate.

Throw Canada in there. The map would be as white as the snow that covers the ground sometimes.

This is why we have a worker shortage. Not because people don’t want to work. Corporations need to lower those expectations and pay a decent living wage.

Not as long as you might expect. Average lifespan of cars in Europe is 18 years. Sure there are outliers and cars might have a longer life in poorer countries but that is a good starting point. The fossil fuel ban on new cars is set to take effect in 2035. So even if a car is bought on 31.12.2034 it will likely fail by 2053. Just 10% (on average) of cars fall under this category. The other 90% will probaply fail well before that and be replaced with a vehicle that's not using fossil fuels.

It sounds like they used COVID as a cover for what really was fireable.

The Midwest plus some of the mountain states and upper New England looking good

I know this is besides the point, but curious what is this chart style called?

Yea I can see that and have heard that as well. Tbh, I wouldn’t shed a tear if that happened.
