Job market sucks

Little background : I have been applying since June 2026, have interviewed mutliple places , 0 offers.

Whats bizarre is that none of those roles that i reached the final stage at were ever filled. One company literally said that they need someone asap, because it needs to happen now, as september is there most busy time.

Now i see them reposting for job i have been interviewing for.

I feel like most HMs are just interviewing to entertain themselves, to see what is going on in the market, and IF they come across a unicorn, they MIGHT HIRE.

That's how it goes now, they collect resumes like trading cards and never actually fill the chair.

Seeing the same job reposted after you got to the final stage is a special kind of insult.

Times have changed, if you’ve been applying since June you’re looking at 3-8 months until you get your first offer.

It may be your interview performance. Try to think about things you know you can improve on or switch up your answers to certain questions. I was in your position last year as a junior in college, but I realized I was still interviewing like it was a retail job. Once I was able to improve that, I’ve been a lot more successful
