The Great American Job Search
The employment Market Has been Rough
To my chagrin, I found myself among the many victims of the mountain of lay offs towards the end of 2023 (December 1, 2023 to be exact). You know, the time of year when resource budgets are set, hiring is frozen, and everyone’s on vacation for the holiday?
HOW DOES A MARKETER HANDLE THIS?
Instead of getting frustrated with the lack of positive results from my marketing job search, I decided to do what I do best—analyze the data and figure out where things are going wrong. I believe data transparency sets us all free and if this helps someone else in a similar situation… that will make my day.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
I’m extremely interested to know what data you would like to see! Let me know your thoughts or suggestions for additional visualizations or new data points. We have to have fun somehow, right?
Have I convinced you that your team needs me?
I’ve decided that I’m going to take these lemons and analyze the results of a marketing job search from a very untimely lay off. Where is the bottleneck? Am I applying to the right jobs? Am I applying enough?
