Do you keep track of all your applications, or are you submitting too many to count? Any idea what your interview "hit rate" is? I used to track more, but it's impossible to check your status on so many platforms, it doesn't always seem worth it.

I was laid off a month ago and I have startef studying for cisco certifications along with applying. But When I see job descriptions and number of people applied for a job it scares me. AI has made the process complecated I believe.... I have ISP tier3 experience but today's job market wants all together. Sec,cloud, routing,switching, wireless, automation, loadbalance, vpn, design, implement, trouble shoot.......

What am I doing wrong that I have had 6 interviews at Ford over the past 2 years and can’t get hired. I am so frustrated there is no feed back.

Ever go into an interview wanting the job on paper but realize they really wanted a check the box person not one who wants to do real change or improvement?

I’ve started judging companies by how they reject candidates. Some places make you feel respected even with a no. I received the nicest rejection email today that let me down easy and still made me feel hopeful about my next interview. Others just ghost like a situationship. Can’t help but wonder how they think they’ll attract great talent they treated that way in the past?
