The media seems to think the great resignation has ended, but really it’s just that jobs have dried up. Professionals, especially good ones, are eager to leave their current jobs, but the pool is so small, there’s just nowhere to go.

And with so many people looking for new positions, if you’re not highly keyword targeted, you won’t go anywhere.

I can’t wait until linkedin charges people to boost resumes a la tinder.

They already sort of do. Every time you apply to a job on LinkedIn, even if you click through to the company's ATS, LinkedIn tries to upsell their premium services, which allegedly promotes your resume. I saw no difference in the applications I submitted during the trial, which I assume is similar to the results folks see with super likes on Tinder.
