Is anyone else having a tough time just getting an interview or a phone screening?

Had to ask TC: 0 As I’m unemployed

No. Re-write your resume. Try using AI to re-write it first. If that doesnt help try people you trust. If you have none of those then pay someone.

Keep trying and try to get more experience and up skill in the meantime. Also try networking more.

What's your YOE OP? sounds like this varies a lot based on experience level.

Yes, same. I've had interviewers cold-email me with zero follow-up (probably spambots), as well as no traction applying directly. Luckily I already have a job, so I don't feel as pressed. Don't expect to get a great response about this subject from Blind. Plenty of folks will rush in to tell you it's all your fault, ignoring all the layoffs and high number of applicants for job postings. As if how a resume looks matters when you're the 1001st person in the queue.

Yes, very much so. Depends on the type of marketing you are looking at, your level, your connections/referrals, and if you're remote or in person I couldn't get an interview applying as a remote employee without referrals
