It’s nearly impossible to find an entry level job in 2022 and I’m tired of people saying otherwise

I have 5 years of experience and no one is hiring me after 300+ applications between July 1 and now. 95% of the companies with positions I am qualified for (or are even the same job) send me responses saying “unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with you as a candidate.”

And the ones that I have had phone interviews with have said I’m either “too qualified” or I only check off 8/10 or 9/10 of the boxes for a more senior role.

Point being, it’s not just entry-level jobs - especially if you’ve been laid off (like me and a large number of people at my former company).

And the two interviews I actually ended up landing… have more-or-less ghosted me. I’m not crazy confident, but I know 100% I nailed the interviews and answered everything in all the ways you’re coached to do so / in ways the helped me land previous jobs.

Is the job market really that bad right now? My current boss badmouthed me to a potential employer, resulting in an offer being rescinded. Do I address it with my current boss? I’m ready to better my life but I don’t know where to start? Is it actually legitimate to think that I didn’t get an interview because I was overqualified? Or is that something people tell themselves to feel better? Employment verification turned into a bad reference. Employment verification turned into a bad reference. Ghosted after 8 interviews... is there anything I can do for some petty revenge? What’s with all these people talking about making 50, 60k starting in all these different fields? Never thought I’d argue and get angry with a hiring manager. Got my application rejected within hours obviously…. Boss asked us for $ to throw a pizza party Should I lie about having children? Are job interviews just getting the person to like you? Where will the “quiet quitting” movement, piss-poor salaries and difficulties finding work lead in a time of inflation and high cost of living? This doesn’t seem sustainable. First interaction was asking how much money i want. Red flag? Struggling to find even a basic office job
