What field are you people in that there's even that many jobs to apply to? Everyone wants you back in office and I'm not sure there's even that many jobs within an hour drive of me.
IT.
More specifically, networks.
I had been applying for any role I have done before and can go again, ranging from desktop support, technical support, network and server support as well as wireless surveys and design.
My contract role was network automation and I was just getting into the swing of it when we got the axe.
The bulk of my experience is wireless surveys, design and reporting work... but it is quite niche. Very few posts going for those roles. I did get some interviews for similar roles but one company wanted someone more involved in pre-sales and the other didn't like the fact that I questioned travel (They said ha ha, UK for now but EU... maybe in the future). No mention of travel on the job description, the recruiter that contacted me also had not heard of it and it turns out the company got 'burned' once before after an engineer left because of the travel.
Yeah... I don't see that as burned, I see that as they caused it themselves by not telling applicants about the travel any only let you know in the interview to cover themselves while luring people in.
The reason I was able to apply for so many roles is I cast I wide net, I applied for anything IT related in the city as well as my town and surrounding areas.
I almost landed a sweet, but strange role, where the pay was decent for the work, fully remote but a weird schedule which I was more than happy to do. Damn!
