I’m a software engineer and have been in the industry for about ten years now, but to my luck haven’t had to extensively job search in that time - I’ve sort of fallen into every job I’ve had. I’m confident I can interview into a role pretty much anywhere, but I am anxious about screening.

It’s frustrating that I actually enjoy working at Amazon, and my team wants to keep me, but S-team decisions disallowing remote work are just going to upend this job. If I can find something equivalent, fine… but if I can’t, there’s a real chance this is life changing (in a bad way).

Hi love! 6 year Recruiter, now Career Coach and Resume Writer (just joined this app too lol). 1st off: Feel the feelings. This is absolutely scary, the markets a mess but it is possible to get a job it’s just going to be different this time around. 2nd (if you haven’t) go ahead update your resume

Skills, experience, education. No ones reading anything else but that-Github hyperlink if you want to. And then apply to jobs that aren’t only on LinkedIn/indeed etc. Lots of startups out there who will definitely need you. And the biggest thing above all: you HAVE to network.

Clients of mine who don’t network end up taking double the time to find a job vs the ones who do. LinkedIn groups/linkedin events, friends/family, old colleagues ask every1. It’s nerve racking at 1st but you’ve got to put yourself out there. You got this though & give yourself grace hun!🌸

Breathe!!!! You got this.

Thanks. I’ll make it through, but change is scary, and I’m at a point in my life where I would really like stability more than excitement. I would really like to just find a way to make everything work as soon as possible, then stay like that for, idk, a decade or so.
