I got laid off from my visual design job in October, and have had a hell of a time getting work. I’m in the NYC market and have applied to over 300 jobs, and have a success rate of about 2% in landing an interview.
My biggest complaint about job hunting is this: jobs that interview you and never get back to you on whether you’re moving forward or not.
Work is work, but corporate ghosting is one of my biggest complaints about American work culture.
If I interview with you over a span of three months, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that they send you a short email telling you whether you’re still in the running.
