Emotion: sadness
Problem: job crisis
Situation: Not able to find suitable job

assistant: Hi, how are you?

user: I am not that good I have tried everything but not able to find suitable job

assistant: I'm sorry to hear that. What would you like to talk about today? Would you like to discuss job-search strategies?

user: Yes I actually created good profile on LinkedIn

assistant: We're in the middle of a pandemic, so it's been hard for everyone to conduct a job search.

user: but so many people apply for same openings within few minutes.

assistant: That's a great start. The quality of your profile is important. Did you ask anyone to give you feedback on your profile?

user: Its highly competitive nowadays Yes, I am taking feedback from my ex-colleagues

assistant: That's good. Have you benefited from their feedback? Do you think a profession resume writer might be of help?

user: They have been very helpful but because of pandemic its pretty slow and lot of people are applying for same profiles

assistant: What sort of position and in what industry?

user: I actually used to help people in the past in their profiles but now its not working I have a software background with business intelligence Looking for position as business analyst of BI Developer

assistant: That sounds like a competitive profile under normal circumstances.

user: I have worked for several years in a dynamic startup enviornment

assistant: The demand for those positions has probably dropped because of the economic slowdown. is there any other sort of job that would interest you? Is that the kind of job that you can do from home?

user: I was working on a senior position but I am looking for profiles like early starters The senior positions are difficult to grasp because of economic slowdown Yes, I was working from home for a while in my previous organization

assistant: If you are good with numbers and software, you are probably a good fit for other jobs.

user: Yes, I have atleast 5 different resumes with little tweaks. In a startup, you end up gaining knowledge of various fields.

assistant: So you're interested in going into the startup world?

user: No, I don't want to go back startup world again. That's not at all reliable Its highly risky

assistant: Ok. So you want stability and a higher-level position.

user: Stability is much more important, I don't need a higher-level position at this point of time. I am already looking for junior profiles to enter faster in the job market

assistant: Is it possible that you are overqualified for those positions?

user: Yes, but I have made customized resumes for different profiles. I tend to remove many things like MBA wherever its not required. I generally try to apply with a balanced resume, its just that market is highly competitive.

assistant: That might work, but I wonder whether HR will want your credentials once you get a job.

user: I doubt HR will have any concerns about my credentials about being over-qualified after getting hired. The reporting manager may be anxious rather happy to know about my skillset

assistant: Ok. It's hard to know how companies play those things now. Sometimes they check your social media accounts for any inconsistency.

user: Yes, they do check the social media accounts but I tried to keep generic profile over there to avoid concerns.

assistant: That's good thinking. Play it safe.

user: Yes, thanks. I will keep trying I guess. Hopefully I get a job soon.

assistant: Is there anything else you would like chat about?

user: No, that will be all. Thanks

assistant: Ok. Have a good day.

user: Thanks, you too.
