On paper, job hunting seems simple enough. You put together a resume, craft the cover letter, and just like that, you land an interview. Done, right? Well, anyone who has ever gone through the process will tell you it’s just the tip of the iceberg. The whole job search thing is a frustrating, crushing, and seriously nerve-wracking experience. But one thing that’s even more annoying is sending out dozens of applications and rarely getting any response — even a rejection letter — from potential employers.
One woman, who was laid off from her job, knows this. A few weeks ago, TikToker @kayleyalissa shared her frustrations over sending out 76 job applications in 8 weeks — and receiving zero requests for an interview. In her viral video, with more than 1.4 million views, Kayley revealed she has struggled to find work ever since May.

People immediately started typing their opinions, reactions, and advice in the comments. Read on to find out how Kayley’s story unfolded, and be sure to weigh in on the matter below.
