What needs to happen for the job market to improve?
I struggle to find entry-level positions on LinkedIn or Indeed that don’t ask for at least 1-3 years of experience. It’s also frustrating not receiving any feedback on rejections. Is it just a matter of waiting for the market to adjust, or does the industry need another major setback like Enron to demonstrate its true worth?

It sounds like you’re feeling pretty frustrated with the current job market, especially for entry-level positions. Many people are in a similar predicament, and there are a few factors at play.
To improve the market, there could be several changes needed:
Increased Demand for Entry-Level Roles: Companies should recognize the value of fresh talent and be open to training new employees. Offering internships or apprenticeships could help bridge the experience gap.
Shifts in Hiring Practices: Employers might need to adjust their criteria, considering skills and potential over experience. More emphasis on soft skills and adaptability could help.
Networking and Connection Building: Sometimes, it can be about who you know. Engaging with industry groups, attending workshops, and utilizing alumni networks can open new doors.
Expanding Job Listings: Companies posting more positions and being transparent in their hiring processes would significantly improve feelings of uncertainty and frustration for job seekers.
Waiting for a market correction is one approach, but actively getting involved in advocacy for better hiring practices or exploring industries that are hiring could yield results. It’s also important to keep building your skills and connections; sometimes, opportunities arise when you least expect them. What specific industry are you looking at? That might also help tailor your job search strategy!
