TikTok user Kayley has labeled the US job market as a complete fraud after failing to get a single interview despite applying for 76 positions.

Kayely took to her social media account to share that she was laid off from work back in May and insists she’s ‘very good at her job’, took to social media to share her job search woes with her followers, and her video, captioned: “I need a job,” has racked up more than a million views. 

Talking about her situation, Kayley explained that she lost her job after her company downsized and has spent the last eight weeks firing off her CV, to no avail.

Kayley told her followers: “Y’all, I have been off work for nine weeks. I was laid off in May. My company downsized and eliminated my position. I was completely blindsided by that.”

She continued: “I took literally one week off to be sad about my life, and then I started putting in applications.

“In these last eight weeks since I’ve been putting [in] applications, I’ve put in 76 applications. For local work, remote work, a lot of marketing, digital, social, where my strengths lie and where I know I’m very good at my job.”

Kayley went on: “76 applications and I have not had one interview. I’ve not had any interest whatsoever.

“Y’all cannot tell me that companies are struggling – that they don’t have any workers – when you’re not hiring anyone. I don’t know what to do at this point. 

“I have the most beautiful, elaborate resume, I have a really detailed resume, I have a beautiful cover letter and it’s all a scam.”

As Kayley's video went viral, many took to the comments section to share their experiences, with one person writing: “No but for real tho it took me five months to find a job.”

Another echoed: “This frustrated me as well, when I was looking for a new job, I applied to at least 30 jobs, not one callback, email, or interview.”

“My husband was out of work for a year. Even started applying at grocery stores as a bagger. Finally he found something in his field, but lower pay,” shared a third, while a fourth wrote: “I feel ya sis! I’m in the same position. And what’s with having an interview and no call to say yes/no? They ghost you.”

Others shared tips with Kayley, with one TikToker writing beneath her clip: “Simplify your resume. If you seem too good or better than what they are looking for you won’t get a call.”

Someone else wrote: “The job market needs low-level workers. Mid level and up are being downsized.” Another added: “I took off my masters degree and got more interviews.”
