I'm not looking just yet, I think companies are trimming the fat (human capital) in Q4. I will join the search in Jan. Good luck to you
I landed a job mid-Oct it pays 10% lower than Centene and I had about 6 interviews (virtual). I was so focused on displaying skills from my former employers in the interview s, I kept getting rejection emails.
The last interview, I went in and only talked about their company. My answers were explaining how skills I have honed over the years align directly with the position (as I understood it).
The interviewer/manager had me meet with her boss later that day (remotely). He had only a few questions, but my strategy was the same... Talk about their company & how my skills could applied on day one. He told me on the call they would be in touch early next week, I knew had it.
AI can provide some much info about companies you are applying with, make sure you know their business and as much about the role (even if assuming). It sends a message that training you will Not be a heaVy lift because you do your homework.
Good luck all, it may be a brutal marKet but I am so happy I left Centene my stress decreased immediately
My last day was on 9/11 and finally secured a job. I got a few hits and have another interview tomorrow, but I'm going to stick to the current offer. Same pay as Centene, 100% remote, and with some good benefits. Now, I have additional money for the holidays and maybe have a nice little vacation.
VSP 9/4, started my new job 9/8! There are companies hiring but the pay is nowhere near the amount that i made with Centene. Su-ks but life has been 100000% more peaceful since leaving there.
Took vsp 9/4 and started a new job 9/22. Pay is lower but I’ll stick it out until I find something better. Still actively looking but I’ve applied to about 50 places and heard back from 1. It’s tough out there. I don’t regret vsp, I’d have been eliminated anyways the next month but I do regret I had to make that choice. Good luck everyone.
9/4 VSP started my new position 10/19. I started actively applying back in June and sure that I submitted at least 150 applications. Only heard back from one company, and had several interviews for different positions there. That is where I ended up landing a position. I still haven’t heard back from any other company (except for reject letters). I was able to negotiate my pay to just about what I was making at Centene. It is a tough market, but keep going and think outside the box when applying to different positions. You’ve got this!
9/4 VSP started new job 9/8. Only offer out of at least 100+ applications. The job market is brutal
I did not take the VSP and still at Centene. I planned to stay but it is such a different company now. I feel miserable here. I've applied to roughly 25 positions and no offers yet. ATS system is brutal but I'm still hopeful.
@a8 Congratulations and good luck!
No offers yet (9/4 VSP) on 100+ applications, a few interviews.
I just accepted position (different industry) but my technical analyst skills translate... (start next week) $20K less, but I am a hard worker & will make it up later.
sent approx 60 resumes, only had 3 virtual interviews, and only 1 offer.
I've been off since April 2026, so I took it.. Good luck all
