Simultaneously too little and too much experience!

Just want to vent a bit about the job market:

Before my humanities PhD ended I was at risk of losing funding in 2024, so I applied to several full time jobs and had 3 interviews and 1 offer. This last year during my postdoc I started slowly applying to jobs amidst this recession and its a totally different ball game, my non-academic friends were laid off across industries left and right.

Near the end of the year after only 1 interview, I switched up my methods and started targeting local university admin roles and networking hard. This made things get better - I've had 3 or so interviews in 2 months. But I'm frustrated at how I'm often being passed over by HR for not having the exact same role titles in my experience/resume (I know because I've networked with HIRING MANAGERS who told me they would have loved to interview me but my resume never crossed their desk). It's so ridiculous to have 5+ years of higher ed experience - including teaching part-time with prizes won for your student mentorship + youth facing engagement on and off campus - only to have someone pass you over for a student service role because you don't have 2+years of an MA in higher admin. Ugh.
