Is Job Hunting a Full-Time Job Now?

Lately, I've been feeling completely stuck. I work 8 to 5, Monday through Friday, in the office—no remote days, no flexibility. I want to look for a new job, but how am I supposed to interview when my schedule is so packed? Sure, I could use sick time, but I barely have any left and honestly, I'd rather save it for when I'm actually sick. The idea of sneaking around just to land an interview feels exhausting and a little ridiculous. Has anyone else been in this situation? How do you manage to job hunt without your boss catching on or burning through your precious PTO? I could really use some advice before I lose my mind! 😩🤔 #JobSearch #WorkLife #CareerAdvice #JobCareer

Would You Trust AI With Your Résumé?

Job seekers are split on using AI for applications! Some folks swear by ChatGPT to fine-tune résumés, cover letters, and even thank-you notes—like having a personal editor. Others say it feels like cheating or worry it could backfire if recruiters catch on. There are even stories of AI inventing fake job experiences! Where do you stand: Team AI or Team Old School? #JobCareer #JobSearch #AI

Job Hunting Is Going Retro—Paper Résumés Are Back!

Tired of sending résumés into the online void? You’re not alone. Job seekers are ditching AI-optimized applications and going old school—think paper résumés, walk-ins, and in-person interviews. Employers are craving real human vibes to cut through the AI noise, even flying candidates in for tryouts. If you want to stand out, showing up IRL might just be your secret weapon. Who knew paper could be your power move in 2024? #JobCareer #JobSearch #HiringTrends

Real Talk: How I Landed a Job in a Recession

Job hunting after college can feel impossible—especially when the economy’s a mess. Allyson Noonan applied to 100+ jobs during the Great Recession before finally landing one (from someone who’d already rejected her!). Her top tips: take every interview, even if it’s not your dream gig; stay in touch with professors; and don’t be afraid to pivot or try grad school abroad. Sometimes, the path to success is way less direct than you think! #JobCareer #CareerAdvice #JobSearch

Job Hunting Costs Are Getting Wild

Who knew finding a job could cost as much as a used car? People are dropping thousands—like $10k on consultants, hundreds on LinkedIn Premium, and even considering digital billboards—just to get noticed. With the job market so tight, it’s turning into a pay-to-play game. The average search now drags on for nearly six months, and all those subscriptions, classes, and AI tools add up fast. Would you shell out that much just to land a gig? #JobCareer #JobSearch #CareerAdvice

Job Posts = Résumé Tsunami?!

Imagine posting a job and getting buried under 500+ résumés—most from people who aren’t even close to qualified. That’s recruiter life for Kathy Lavinder right now. She’s in such a niche field that 80% of applicants are way off, and AI tools are making it even easier for people to spam their résumés everywhere. Now she’s thinking twice before ever posting a job online. Would you dare to post? #JobCareer #JobSearch #RecruiterProblems

Laid Off at 52: Only Lower-Paying Jobs?

Imagine getting laid off at 52 with $620K in savings, but every job offer is for way less than you made before. Turns out, age bias is real, and the job market isn’t as hot as it looks. Experts say you might have to take a pay cut (temporarily!) or even switch up your strategy—think upskilling or gig work—just to avoid dipping into your nest egg. Would you settle for less or keep searching? #JobCareer #CareerChange #JobSearch

Laid-Off Manager Hits a Job Market Wall

Imagine having 20+ years of tech experience, only to be told you’re “too expensive” for every job you apply to. That’s Alexander Valen’s reality after getting laid off from Accenture. He’s been job hunting for 21 months, but companies keep cutting manager roles and slashing pay. Even with a killer resume, he’s ghosted by recruiters and forced to consider jobs way below his pay grade. The job market for experienced pros? Brutal right now. #JobCareer #JobSearch #Layoffs

Job Ghosting Is Finally Getting Called Out

You know that feeling when you go through endless interviews and then...nothing? Ontario just made it illegal for companies to ghost job applicants. Now, if you interview, they have to tell you if you got the job (or not) within 45 days. Gen Z is celebrating on TikTok, showing off their rejection spreadsheets and calling out recruiters. Maybe the era of job ghosting is finally over—at least in Canada. Can we get this everywhere, please? #JobCareer #JobSearch #Recruiting
