A childhood friend of mine has a Harvard degree in finance. He is currently looking for a new job. He submitted 102 applications before he got a single callback. They didn’t hire him.

That was a little over a year ago. He’s still job hunting today. Fortunately, he still has work with his old company. He’s not submitting his 2 weeks until he has another job lined up. But he just can’t get callbacks with anyone. It’s insane out there right now.

It’s just as bad in information technology right now. My former employer liquidated all assets months back, including employees to stay afloat. Haven’t been able to get to a single round three interview yet. Probably put in between 500 and 1,000 applications between November and now for various companies and locations worldwide. I’m not asking for an exuberant salary. Just base pay for my qualifications.
