Well, my LumpedIn post about struggles of good folks I know in the UK job market and asking for thoughts and ideas on what such people need to do right now is mainly generating a lot of frustration, angst, and no answers.
I don't think I really expected answers TBH, but it's kinda desperate for folks right now. (My partner being one of them.)
Senior/experienced roles are over-subscribed so unless you're a perfect checkbox fit you don't even get an acknowledgement... and people with experience who'd love even a junior role get filtered out of those jobs (not that there are enough junior roles either).
There is a lot of great talent out there going to waste. It is all so depressing.
