Can’t get work
I’ve been out of work since mid Covid being let go from my job after being in the hospital. I can’t get any job offers since except physical labor jobs I can’t do or the waste of time life insurance jobs that go straight into the spam folder. I can’t figure why. I did a data analytics bootcamp which turned out to be a huge waste of time and money because I got 0 interest from any of the 1000s of applications I’ve put in since. It was over $10k and essentially got nothing out of it. I don’t know what to do from here 😞

Are you applying directly or using an agency or service? in a few areas this has become the norm to screen out candidates that seem good on resume but real life skills do not match.
I found many employers in my area are using temp agency it weeds out people ..unfortunately some bad applicants are pulling no shows to interviews or ghosting after a job offer... when the employer was taking direct apps.
I was applying directly to items i knew i was a match and getting no response I had been with an agency before so just reached out and got a good job that i will be permanent position after 6 months.
Thanks for reaching out. I’ve tried reaching out to multiple agencies but none of them ever get back to me. It so discouraging I can’t get any communication with anyone from any company or agency. It’s like I might as well just give up applying to anywhere and just go work in a retail store.
@D86
Sometimes when people do not respond it is in power to reach out again... how are you reaching an email/ phone call ?
Some agencies in my area have offices......... if a person shows up there they have you do big questionnaire and sometimes things like typing test or ten key to evaluate your potential skills for placement. I see in my day to day places that need certain skills and people who need work but even if a match someone might not even know because it is a industry we never considered or knew about
