    Applied to a Job Feeling Thinking

    After being laid off over a year ago, I've sent out 675 applications in my job search journey. The results have been quite revealing: 246 rejections, 276 cold ghostings, and 18 deep ghostings. It seems like the most common outcome isn't even rejection anymore, but rather getting no response at all. On a brighter note, I've managed to reach the interview or final stages multiple times, which indicates that my efforts are not entirely in vain. I'm curious if anyone else in the North American IT job market is experiencing similar outcomes in their application pipelines.

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I was laid off from a big tech company about 11 months ago and have been actively interviewing since then, but unfortunately, I haven't received any offers yet. I've gone through multiple rounds of interviews with various big tech firms, but the outcomes have been disappointing. I've experienced a lot of ghosting, received generic rejection emails without any feedback, and sometimes found out that the roles I applied for were either closed or filled internally. I'm currently based in British Columbia, Canada, and I'm concerned about how this 11-month employment gap might be perceived by potential employers, especially in the Data Engineering field. I'm curious if anyone else has faced a similar situation and how they managed to address the gap on their resume. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
