Stop Giving Advice to People Who Don't Ask For It
You're talented, you can also in the meantime think of your passions and gifts and make a business out of it and your followers can be there with you too, just an idea I feel would fit you because starting business isn't for everyone always. May you succeed at all your good wishes in God's name.
I mean, I know the struggle of finding a job... But visa holders lose their jobs and they have just 60 days (2 months) to find another job.... At least you're in a position that you can take your time to find a job. Count your blessings. It's the market... It's nobody's fault. When the govt was handing out free money, everyone was getting hired with pay bumps of 30% 40% etc... Now it's the other way around... No one to blame
Thank you for your honest video. I’m job hunting and it’s demoralising. I can see that I’ll probably hit rock bottom soon and pivoting is my only option. The jobs market is truly shocking for those of us looking for a full time job, it used to be so much easier 20 years ago.
I'm 55yrs old $24,000 weekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I'm today!!❤
Hello How're you earning such weekly? sometimes I feel down on myself because of low finances,but I still believe in God
Thanks to Mrs. Elizabeth Regina Nelsen's time in my life, which had a profound impact on me.
Sounds familiar. I have heard her name on several occasions and read about her success stories in wall street journal!
Who's Elizabeth Regina Nelsen!?looking forward to this opportunity Can I also sign up from Ontario Canada?
She is really a good investment advisor. I was privilege to attend some of her seminars. That's how I started my own crypto investment.
Jeremy, I heard you loud and clear. The same happened to me in May this year. I was a security architect at a medical device company until they laid off my entire team. I've searched, applied, and interviewed at a lot of organizations. Sometimes, i got to the end of the interview process without offers. Sometimes, i got scheduled for final interviews only to have the recruiter call off the interviews. To make the story short, I just got sick of the craziness and just started my own cybersecurity company with a partner who's currently a BISO. We're currently fleshing out our service templates and will need a cybersecurity salesperson soon. Fellas, reach out if you're a fit and interested in joining. By the way, I'm a computer engineer who has built and sold a few successful businesses before. I've also had my fair share of failed businesses in the past (two to be specific), so I'm not under any illusion regarding how to make a business work. We'll be providing cybersecurity services to small and medium-sized enterprises in the short term. For the long-term, we're building an AI-driven enterprise email security product that'll bring capabilities currently non-existent. If you're interested, email info@redbluecyber.com.
I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling. Being unemployed is stressing me out!
I can’t either and have been networking over 2 years…
I've been trying to leave fast food recently, but too bad hiring managers are selfish bastards that can't even give a shit about anyone's feelings about people wanting a job. Especially when you apply, they don't reach out to you, they don't call you for an interview, even if you've been through an interview, they say they'll call you but they don't. They ghost you, it's so fucking bullshit that managers nowadays are heartless and they can't make people's lives happier. Not everyone has great interview skills but why can't the real world care about our feelings? Idk, I hate real life so much. I've been going through a lot of tough times with depression because this world is heartless😭
2 years here, with the end of this year.
Bro, thanks for the video. Thought i have not submitted 1500 apps (more like 50) only have 2 interviews and them recruiter ghosted as well. I think being a minority has some play in it...we know its illegal but happens every day. Sucks. The atmosphere had changed for this generation. Still the same in sept 2024. Good thing i have very little bills. As a side, im trading forex, stocks, etc for small income. Avg $200 a day.
1:31 networking.... yeah, that's how an incapable girl who has a buddy buddy guy manager got her into Apple and became the pet of him and then she can't do well technically, but tah tah, she became the engineering manager instead. How great is life?
manager or companies hire these days: 1) buddy buddy females 2) buddy buddy guy 3) pretty girl 4) pretty boy. Some manager openly admits that he doesn't want somebody with great technical skills. He just wants somebody doing the job quick and dirty, fast, and will make him look great to get the new stock grant or promotion or just let me him in the company for the next 5 or 10 or 20 years until he retires. It is like a pack of ... I don't what to call them, occupying Earth
Dude I am 35 and I got laid off from union job too and have been trying to find a job for over 8 months. Except it is Hell because I am looking for a job to just get by til work in the union picks up again which proly won't happen for another 6 months. But I am still looking and going through the same shit for even the low paying jobs. It's crazy man. Hopefully Trump and his team straighten that out too. I heard something that companies can lie and make more money from the government by not hiring people or creating ghost jobs. Plus selling the info on our applications for money to data collection bases. It's messed up and oughta be illegal.
BROOOO I thought it was me being a fucking villain but atp its everyone cause u have great qualifications
Same as my son, Jeremy.
Ugh, it's annoying when they ghost you. I sent a follow-up email after the initial screening and got radio silence. lol, it's fine if I'm no longer in the running but at least tell me that! :P
I'm right there with you. I'm a mobile developer with 10 yrs experience and have been job hunting for 5 months now. I even learned two new languages to be more competitive. I can't count how many times I have gone through the interviews, done coding assessments only to be ghosted, told the job is on hold after weeks of waiting, or that they were had internal candidates to interview (all of a sudden). At this point I wouldn't trust the job until I got my first paycheck. Thinking of going into nursing at this point.
Saw your 1500+ application video and I'm super happy that this video also exists!
Your passion and emotion is inspiring. My advice is you're applying to too many jobs. You shouldn't apply to more than 15 to 20 jobs a week. Only apply to companies for jobs that you really desire. Tailor your resume to each job. Take a few days and breathe, watch an uplifting movie and read. I recommend The Alchemist by Paul Coelho. An amazing 📖 book that will change your life. You're on empty, when you fill up start your search again. May blessings visit you each and every day. They will start today.
Changing your environment is one of the most overlooked "hacks" in personal development. While mindset and actions matter, being in a space that supports your goals gives you that extra push. I've seen firsthand how small environmental changes-like surrounding yourself with motivated people or eliminating distractions-can make a huge difference. It's all about setting yourself up for success. It’s the same principle we use in the Habit10x Sense of Humor Improvement Program-creating an environment that fosters positivity and growth. Keep shaping your surroundings to support your best self!

McDonalds Burger Flipper here we go.
Maybe do a mock interview w/ your best friends, and let them tell you where you can IMPROVE i'm sure you must be great... but prob. also somewhere you can/need to be better best wishes
Same here... more than one year without a job... bachelor degree in computer science, over 10 year experience and more than 1000 application sent...just rejections or being completely ghosted... and im talking about tech and job like flipping burger...cant find nothing...
Adapt. That will get you a job.
I used to get 2-3 recruiter inmails per week, now I cannot find anything since almost 6 months. I am an expert in my field and cannot get mid and entry level if I apply
Your plan sounds good, i love how you approach things
Thank you for the valuable information
Seriously stoked for you, man... I can relate to ALL of it! I left private sector tech due to layoffs, hustled for over a year, wrote hundreds of applications and cover letters, but found my place about 5 years ago in state government doing not only IT, but my favorite flavor of IT (web dev/big data site dev). Hell yeah man, keep crushing it! PS Saw this after your video discussing the job hunt hell out there. Stay elevated!
3800 applications this month here
You are going to make it eventually! I´ve been jobless for 11 months cause salary didn’t meet my expectations. I work in IT in Germany. Link your LinkedIn.
These days Corporate America ships jobs to India. Not only the IT industry, it also includes audit firms (Deloitte and EY), Bank industry (BNY mellon) and other industries.
You can aaapply for food delivery, and work immediately.
If you can’t find a job, there must be something wrong with your experience or your interview skills. And if you don’t have an offer in writing, you don’t have an offer. So you never got any offer.
he is a product manager? even service desk is more valueable over than that BS role
Networking is BS too, the connections you'll make will be a referral for you all day, but unless the person you meet is actually hiring you directly , you are not getting a job. 4801 Applications since Spring 2023 +50 new networking connections made 5 full eight round interviews 0 job offers ( most turned down for stating job not in budget) I am quitting the job market entirely. Waiting on my gig work to be automated, so I can either become a walmart terrorist homeless ninja OR grow tobacco in KY.
If you guys want to network on linked in, I don’t mind connecting. Going through the same struggle
As an interesting follow up to my earlier comment I guess... I just got an offer from FAANG in this economy. In 2008, I was jobless or the first 2 years post graduation, then did a sale support job as my first post college job after 2 years of out of work when I graduated from top 30 US schools. Talk about being humbled right away. The road to here is anything but straight, and nor do I expect it to be straight here on out. I've been trained to always set expectations from a worst case scenario thanks to 2008, but while giving all I got regardless cause I'm not dead yet. Pushing through these things is hard... But at the end of the day, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Please believe in that, think about your current situation as just part of the journey to get to that better spot. Cause when I hindsight evaluate why they value me, it was thanks to the challenges I pushed through in all these years that they liked.
The issue is we're top top heavy, too many chiefs not enough indians. Everybody has a degree especially since it became a business, the economy cant generate enough white collar jobs to meet the flood of graduates, thats the white elephant that will never be brought up along with these shell ghost jobs because college itself is a billion dollar enterprise and they will not paint this picture or it hurts their business.
I am at the same place...20+ years of experience...same ghost stories and no job offers
Any update? Did you end up getting a job?
Congratulations. I know what you say about the relief. It took me 2 months to get the right job offer (I know it is nothing compared to what you had to go through) but even after 2 months of never ending interview I was going into a depression mode. Unfortunately I didn't have any contacts for networking as I was applying for a job in another country. I just used LinkedIn to apply and other local job board website in that country. Could you please make a video about how to start networking if we are changing a city/country and we know nobody there?
I'm going through this. My phone just cut off, I can't pay my rent, I've exhausted loans to survive, it's a mess. It sucks.
Jeremy do you think that company that interviewed you was just trying to get information. In other words it was "ghost job"? They had no intention of hiring anyone.
yeah AI is taking tech jobs.
President, Government Officials and Employers Aren't Trying To Help Unemployed People Gain Any Experience in 2024 into 2025.. These Companies are using a Application Tracking System (ATS) to weedout Good Quality Applicants. Entry-level Jobs requires Precise Experience... But People from Overseas and Immigrants Can come into the US and Get Leadership And Technology Jobs WITHOUT ANY EXPERIENCE
It's not just you alot of jobs are not hiring right now with just applying. It's true on the networking part. Back then I used to be able to get a job after being laid off within 2-5 months. Now I am not even getting calls or recruiters just ghost me after taking their tests. It's a hard time and it made me value having a job as well as saving money when I do have one. I am starting work next month but its seasonal warehouse and I don't even think I will last in there because my past jobs are office related. But I do want to try it to lose weight and at least get my foot back in because I've been jobless for 3 years with just side jobs to live by. It's tougher nowadays for me as well.
I always feared a management position because its just so hard to show value when times get tough because the devs they just cant let go because nobody can do what the dev can. The bots are making job hunting crazy hard now. Thousands of applicants from bots the second a job is posted. Jobs that used to come up ONLY for local candidates is getting very hard. My new problem is, these damn agencies that want to check references FIRST. Before they even have a remote clue they have some low pay stick at the agency go through your references when they have nothing at all. My references have had it. The reference should only be checked when you have a pending offer. They wont START until they check references now. I think they just send their interns or lower end people at agencies to just randomly check references to start to get an experience. Its a waste. This needs to be reeled back in. They also want to quiz the crap out of you when just 3 questions should tell anyone that knows what they are doing if you know something. Every time I get a ping from some low 20 something kid, its just bs. Its just junk they let this kid do to get experience and it wastes everyones time and the client NEVER sees you.
Great video thanks and you’re not alone
