The #JobMarket Is Hell
People are using ChatGPT to write applications; #HR is using #AI to read them; no one is getting #hired.
Profits are strong, jobless rate is 4.3%, and wages are climbing. But #payrolls have been essentially frozen for past 4mo. #Hiring rate has declined to its lowest point since recovery following Great Recession. Four years ago, employers were adding 4-5 workers for every 100 they had on the books, month in and month out. Now they are adding three.

I might have mentioned that the #jobsearch market is terrible, recently.

So I wrote about it for a #communications blog, just at the same time as a new contract came through for me (phew).

If you are #hiring or trying to get #hired, I hope it is helpful.... It is certainly connecting with folk over on LinkedIn.

It's been called a "brilliant, worrying and important read". I'll let you make your minds up.

If you're looking for a new job, keep the faith. And I hope there are a few things here useful to you.

the long, hard road of job search in 2025 — comms2point0

After leaving a role in February 2025, I didn’t dream that it would take four months to land my next gig.  As time ground on, I realised I wasn’t alone - there’s a sea of unused, untapped and unemployed skills out there with folks battling an increasingly difficult recruitment market.&n

I'm a python developer, I'm a tech lead, and I've been a tech architect. I will learn any language you need, and I'll work for anyone provided they're not building bombs to drop on civilians (or assisting in the efforts to do so).

Otherwise, if you happen to know of anyone looking for a contractor or perm twisty brained developer with a need for headache inducing problems.
