Do whatever you need to do. Lie on your resume; use AI; automate job applications; rewrite your resume using any tool you can find. It’s a cutthroat environment and I don’t envy anyone trying to find a job right now. Someone I know has been trying for a year and a half and still nothing.
The tech capitalists have captured full control of the industry and they now hold all of the leverage. We don’t have the room we once did for bargaining.
Also, when you do a peer review, say nothing but positive things unless the person is vile. Support fellow working class folks. We can struggle together.
Went from employee of the year to laid off and ghosted 90% of apps for 2 years 😁😁😁
God that sucks. I was laid off for 3 months and hated it. I can’t even fathom 2 years. That is rough, friend.
