What’s really going on with unemployment?

For the life of me I don’t understand. I have a bachelors degree, including 8 years of managerial experience when I managed a Hertz car rental branch. Yet, interviews are scarce. Then I read things like this: “Job openings totaled nearly 11 million in December, more than 4.6 million above the total unemployment level, according to the Labor Department.” I’ve applied to hundreds of openings. My success rate to get an interview is 1/7. After the interview it’s 0/35 that passed the first interview to go on to the 2nd. I don’t believe it’s me, because I’ve never had a difficult time getting a job before. In addition, when job seeking in the past, I ALWAYS heard back, either a decline or an accept. What’s interesting is that out of the 35 interviews only ONE came back no. Nearly all are ghosting me and I have no idea why. Why…

I’ve applied to hundreds of openings. My success rate to get an interview is 1/7. After the interview it’s 0/35 that passed the first interview to go on to the 2nd.

I don’t believe it’s me, because I’ve never had a difficult time getting a job before. In addition, when job seeking in the past, I ALWAYS heard back, either a decline or an accept. What’s interesting is that out of the 35 interviews only ONE came back no. Nearly all are ghosting me and I have no idea why. Why not a simple email saying they’ve moved to someone else?

Does the position even exist? I’m questioning what the hell is going on out there.

If there is so much availability, then what’s going on?
