Seems like a tough job market out there at the moment - Following up on another post from a couple of weeks ago. I can’t believe how crazy the job market is now; it seems so hard to get a good position, and dealing with the rejection is slowly chipping away at me.

For context, in my current role/industry, I get offers and approaches from competitors all the time, at least once or twice a month. So I thought my skill set would be easily transferred (even if I am considering getting into a different industry but a similar role).

I’ve been actively applying for similar positions for a couple of months in different industries because I’m starting to feel pretty stale/tired within my current career (Sales Team Leader). I thought because I’m getting approached all the time by competitors, it shouldn’t be too hard to land a new role.

How I was wrong….. and what a rude shock. Constant rejection letters, businesses changing their mind about putting someone on, never hearing back from anyone, getting low-balled in the offers that have come through, and missing out on a few positions due to experience.

It seems tight, with businesses hesitant to put new people on. What are others’ experiences out there trying to switch roles as well? & does anybody have any tips to better my chances moving forward?

At the moment, I feel like I might be stuck within my current industry.
