It's totally dried up. A couple of years ago, I had recruiters reaching out to me, and was making it pretty far through the interview process before getting tossed aside in the last step. Often the reasons for getting passed over were pretty weak at the time, but now no one's talking to me at all.
Daym. How are you surviving?
I currently have a job. One I've been trying to get out of for years, where no one will tell anyone what they want, and just gesture broadly towards abstract-sounding goals which can all be rephrased as "sell more", even though I am not in sales.
People will often tell those who are unemployed that being unployed is the reason they're not getting hired - that people want to hire those who are currently working - but that doesn't seem to be true. Not in my experience, at least. And not since everyone decided to pretend the whole fever dream of a perpetual-lockdoen economy never happened.
Cheers. Looks like you're stuck in a bullshit job. I wish you luck in your search.
