Background:
I have seven years of experience in the conservation field and separately, a background in art. I’ve just moved from Denver to San Francisco and am currently looking for a job. I have applied to six jobs so far, and have been rejected from four of them. I have been consistently employed the last seven years, transitioning from a trail crew member to crew lead. I am looking to continue to move up in my career or make a lateral shift, so the positions are likely to be competitive. San Francisco is also a bigger city, and likely to be more competitive for that reason as well. The average job search in the U.S. typically takes 3-6 months, though this can vary significantly based on industry, experience level, and local market conditions.
Jobs Applied:
-Management Analyst (rejected)
-Public Art Project Manager (rejected)
-Arts Commission Program Assistant (rejected)
-Community Outreach Manager (rejected)
-Co-Director at an arts non-profit (rejection expected)
-Land Manager and Trails Supervisor
Resolution Criteria:
This market will resolve to the number of months (rounded to the nearest whole month) from now until I secure and accept a job offer. The count begins from the date this market is created.
Considerations:
The specialized nature of conservation work may mean fewer overall openings, potentially extending the search timeline.
Current economic conditions and hiring freezes wishing the federal government may impact timeline expectations.
Update 2025-03-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Rounding Algorithm Update
Round up if the decimal part >= 0.5.
Round down if the decimal part <0.5.
This specifies how months will be rounded when computing the resolution, in addition to the original instruction to round to the nearest whole month.
Interesting market. Will you make changes in your real life based on the market's expected time? Random example: take a 3 month gig as fruit picker as the expected time is currently 3.6 months. Anyway, good luck!
@GazDownright hmmm good question! I will not be altering my real life based on the market’s expected time.
