Ask HN: How long have you been looking for a job?

7•baddash•2h ago
For me personally, I was laid off around a year and 3 months ago. I've gotten many interviews but no success. Just wondering how it's going for others. For context I'm a software engineer (unexpected, I know).

I've been looking for almost two years, though not very actively at first. I had to focus on my health, and job hunting took more energy than I had

Two months ago, a local company reached out on LinkedIn. They help with the search. I'm not good at selling myself, so I gave it a shot.

They fixed my CV and LinkedIn, and started finding roles for me. Since then, I've had more interviews.

The market feels over-automated now. Too much noise, too many filters, too much AI. It's exhausting.

do you mind sharing the name of the company? I could use some help in the search too. my email is on my profile if you prefer that

Not unemployed at the current time, but my longest was close to 2 years. It helped that I was consulting to pay bills, which also gave me the power to be selective. My advice is that the hardest part of an extended search is saying no to the wrong opportunities when you just want a job.
