i'm currently without a job and i'm 40+. and i cannot find something new because every postion is instantly filled with someone better.

There is a "traffic jam" in hiring caused by underqualified, desperate people who blindly apply to thousands of jobs. The deluge of applications is being pared down by AI.

In a traffic jam, you're not going anywhere fast, even if you're in a Lamborghini.


without job for many many months. most companies don't even answer. 20 years of experience => too old
