Officially entered my flop era.
After losing my job due to workforce reduction in September of '22 after only 6 months I thought I bounced back by landing a job at a well known company. If I did more research I'd have found since being bought out it became a miserable churn and burn, super pushy transactional sales environment with 50+ hour work weeks. Not at all all what I was looking for.
I lasted 7 weeks.
So now with all my previous confidence in my skills shattered, I'm applying in a super tough market. I've been tempted to keep that job as "present" on LI because we all know you're virtually dead to recruiters if you're unemployed.
But should I? Or should I put an end date? Or just leave it off altogether?
PS. 100+ applications and only 3 recruiter screens later, I welcome any recommendations on places that are hiring and won't be too concerned with a layoff and a short tenured stint.
