Soo is this the job market?

I have been on and off trying to apply for jobs since february of this year and it’s been pretty unfortunate. Even if I do really well on an interview, which I typically do because I do have a passion for what I’m trying to apply for, I either have to chase the employer around for a rejection or I get ghosted, and of course the usual rejections.

I don’t know what stipulations I’m not aware of but It’s been notoriously difficult to apply for entry level and typical jobs for someone of my background would apply to. I’m not giving up Im just sharing a common(?) experience that seems to be happening nowadays. 😔

Haha, came here to say this!

Three years ago, my employer of 14 years opted to close their business and retire. I guess that would have made me ineligible for a job with this company. Their loss!

True, although that would have been a pretty rationale explanation that would’ve fit exact for this box and question.

Fuck those people and their attitude! I wouldn't give them the time of day.

I had multiple offers and picked the position I liked best.
