Hi all, I’m a Mechanical Engineer planning a move to New York and am looking for leads on engineering consultancy roles. I have about 9 years of experience in building services, with the last two years dedicated to data center design.

I fell in love with the city during a trip this past March and am hoping to spend a few years in the city via an e-3 visa. If anyone here works in the industry or knows of firms that are currently hiring, I’d appreciate any advice or connections. Thanks in advance!

Young TRANSPLANTS: How do you get your first job coming from out of state?

Like I have all these LinkedIn connections and some “phone call relationships” but it feels like I’m at a dead end.

I get a bunch of interviews (office jobs) but I either tell them I’m staying at a family members place in New Jersey until I get an offer but it’s also competitive with people already in the city.

Guess this is a two parter now: How do I get referrals for a job just from LinkedIn & a call to build enough trust, and how do I approach being asked in an interview “are you currently in NYC”

Also keep in mind I am 2 years out of college with 1 year of corporate experience and have been unemployed for the last 5 months, so I have a lot of competition even for “entry level”

i’m at a total loss right now anything that’s entry level with no certifications just honestly any place

i’ve applied to retail and fast food and got nothing i also applied to the zoo haven’t heard back if any of you know of a specific company that’s hiring rn it would be a great help thank you

I am currently interviewing at Goldman Sachs for the role - Asset & Wealth Management, Wealth Management Product Manager (Analytics), Associate. Any insights or what to expect during the 2nd interview round? I really want to crack this interview as I am left with only 3 months in USA on F1 OPT.

PLEASE HELP.

Does anyone know anything about the job hiring process? I know you can get company internal referrals, which I did when I applied yesterday, but realistically, how long will it take for me to hear back, and what are the odds I get an interview with one if I have a semi-strong resume for a pretty competitive entry level position? I’ve heard a lot of differing things.

am currently seeking security guards with F02 and F80. please call 718-255-5178.

I'm reliable, trustworthy, and professional, with many years of experience. Is anyone hiring here? I've sent my resume to all the places that I possibly could. Now I'm here. Thank you!

I lost my job in 2024. I thought I would find a new one in two or three months. I was wrong. It took 18 months. During that time, I applied to 500 jobs. I learned a lot about the real market. I want to share it with you in a simple way.

The real market

New jobs appear every month. That is true. But many industries are struggling. Tech is very difficult right now. Marketing is hard too. Finance is a little better, but only for special roles. Healthcare needs people, but they want very specific certificates. Do not believe anyone who says the market is great. It is not great. It is just active.

One job can get 500 or 600 applications in the first 24 hours. This is normal now. So you must understand that sending one perfect application is not enough. You need a system.

Recruiters want specialists

This is the biggest change I saw. Before, companies liked generalists. They wanted people who could do many things. Now they want specialists. They want very thin targeting.

For example, they do not want a "marketing manager." They want a "B2B SaaS email marketing specialist who knows HubSpot and has worked with startups." They do not want a "software engineer." They want a "backend engineer with Python and AWS who knows microservices."

This means your resume must match very closely. If you send the same resume to 50 jobs, you will not get answers. Resume tailoring is step one. Without it, you are invisible.

The burnout problem

I learned this the hard way. I tried to write a new resume for every job. It took 45 minutes each time. I read the job post. I changed my words. I moved my bullets. After 20 applications, I was tired. After 50, I felt burned out. I could not sleep. I checked my email all night. I felt like a failure every day.

This is not sustainable. You cannot write 500 resumes by hand. You will break down before you get the job. You need to do this at scale, but you also need to protect your mind.

How I fixed the resume problem

I started using tools to help me. I tried many of them. Some were bad. Some just copied my text and added fancy words. Some gave me advice but did not do the work. After testing everything, I found two tools that worked best for me. CVnomist and Hyperwrite.

They read the job description and match it with your experience. They write the new resume in seconds. I check what they wrote, and I send it. I do not change much. The output is good. This helped me apply to 10 jobs in one hour instead of one job per hour. It saved my energy for other things.

But you also need to network

A good resume is step one. But step two is knowing people. I spent two hours every week on LinkedIn. I found people who worked at companies I liked. I sent them simple messages. I did not ask for a job. I just asked one question about their work.

Most people did not answer. That is normal. But some did. I had 15 short calls in 6 months. Three of those people referred me to jobs. Those referrals got me interviews that I could not get with only online applications. Your resume opens the door. But a referral makes you skip the long line. Do not ignore this. It is boring work, but it works better than sending 100 cold applications.

Take care of your mind

The last thing I learned is that job hunting is bad for your mental health. You will get rejected. You will get ignored. This happens to everyone. You must protect yourself.

I made a simple rule. I only applied to jobs from Monday to Friday. I never checked my email on Saturday or Sunday. I also practiced interviews for only 30 minutes per day. I recorded myself on video. I watched it. I fixed one small thing each time. I did not practice for 3 hours. That is too much.

I also walked outside every day. I talked to my friends about normal things, not only about jobs. If your mind is broken, you cannot show your best self in an interview. Rest is part of the plan. It is not lazy. It is necessary.

My simple plan

If you are looking for a job now, here is what I suggest. Use tools like CVnomist or Hyperwrite for your resumes so you do not get tired. Apply to many jobs with good targeting. Spend time on LinkedIn every week. Practice interviews in small amounts. Sleep well. See your friends.

The market is hard. But it is not impossible. I survived 500 applications and 18 months of waiting. I got my offer. You can too. Just work smart, not only hard.

Combined. Simply by picking the wrong major in college and "not doing enough" during college, even though I did all I could. Sigh
