The market did get tougher. It's not you. That means that you have to put considerably more effort, or a different kind of effort, to land a job.<p>Think about landing the job as a numbers game. There are a bunch of steps, connected into a pipeline. Roughly, it's 1. find offers 2. apply 3. prescreen 4. interviews 5. offer<p>At each step of the pipeline, you will have fewer and fewer offers that will remain. Your goal is to bring one through the whole pipeline.<p>Think about the pass rate. Say you got 3 offers, but two were bad, and you accepted one. That's 33% pass rate.<p>You got invited for interviews at 20 firms, and three ended in offers. That's a 15% pass rate.<p>You were sent 30 pre-screening questionnaires, and got 20 interview invites. 66% pass rate.<p>You applied to 100 jobs, and got 30 pre-screening questionnaires. 30% pass rate.<p>These numbers are made up. You can work on any step of the pipeline and try to do things differently to see if it improves your pass rate.<p>In your case, are you not getting enough interviews? Or are you getting tons of interviews but are not getting any offers (or are not getting invited to a 2nd interview).<p>If it's the first, maybe you need to devote attention to your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile.<p>If it's the latter, maybe better interview prep or coaching will help.<p>It's a numbers game. You have to keep trying, but also tweak the steps along the way.<p>If you have any concrete questions or would like some help, my contact info is in my profile.
