Ask HN: Is the Job Market Still Tough for You?

Been looking for a job since December 2023-- for the 1st few months of 2024 there was maybe 1 job a month. (Edited to add: this was in January/Feb, when I was only seeing 1-2 job posts a month. I am seeing more now, but being ghosted, see below)

A few more jobs now, but still havent had a single interview. I send my CV and it goes into some blackhole and I never hear anything back.

I could understand if I was being rejected after interviews, but Im not even getting to that stage. My CV isn't that bad, and previously I used to get calls from recruiters all the time. Now I'm having to chase recruiters who are ghosting me.

I am worried about how this large gap will look on my CV.

Starting to lose hope a little-- and starting to feel a little desperate.

Is it just me? Im in the UK.
