I am once again on the job hunt. I know this has been discussed before but all I could find are old threads. I also feel a lot has changed in the job market the last few years. With minimum requirements for basic jobs starting to skyrocket I can understand the pressures causing people to just stay where they already are.
I don't want to stay where I am and have started the search (about 2 months in now). It is amazing how slow the process is and how incredibly hard it is to even get a call or interview. It is also discouraging to have to re-input all of your résumé info on each different company's website even though they have you upload it too.
That old saying "Its not what you know, it's who you know" seems to be ringing more and more true every day. Because of all this I thought I would start this thread for those of us searching for new careers/opportunities who seem to be facing an uphill battle. Please share your stories/tips/rants/raves/successes here and get a healthy place to discuss and vent about our situations.
Where I'm at:
2 months of solid looking/applying without a single call back. Actually had 1 phone interview scheduled and they never called. Revamped my résumé twice already due to paranoia. My resume is currently 2 pages long and I keep going back and forth about if I should cram it all into one page (thoughts?). My background is in aviation but I am currently employed by a company in a different industry. I thought the change would be good but I'm afraid I was wrong. So here I am looking to get back into what I know.
