I am feeling burnt out and applied for several roles and never even got to "you've made it to the next step." These are roles I am well suited for. When I actually NEEDED a new role, I got five offers and now cannot get so much as sent to the hiring manager? Can our profiles have some flag that we cannot transfer to a new role on them, or do I just s— now?

I'm on the same boat looking for new opportunites. HR does the first short list. So you are at the mercy of them. I don't think any manager calls your current boss before interviewing, I have changed positions twice and only once did i hear from my boss that some one called them before interviewing, The hiring manager does not have to go through the pain of asking your boss permission to interview. They cannot say you are not releasable, if you are not then you must be super busy ,valuable and cannot be let go. If you are twidling your thumbs, They will let go, One head count reduced for them.
Coming to the interview process, it's convoluted, They have canned questions that we have to answer and they rate you on that. If, all the questions are canned, Then you can be reasonably sure that this is a ghost position, they have a candidate in mind. If not, Then it's fair game. But what I hate is they don't let you know if you are selected or not. Which is insulting at the least, That's how they operate perhaps. Good luck. My advise is be very focused on the job search, Don't apply for random positions, HR might get upset and they may not send your application to the hiring manager.
There is no transparency though. When they don't list the hiring manager or the HR name internally that means, practically we are shooting in the dark.
Or they will find some technicality and put you on a cobc discipline that blocks you from a new job for a year
This rumor is real, "AT&T is a screwed up company and like a lot of media companies, it may have hit its peak."
When I worked for Mr. Peanut, I was releasable 1 day a year. Not the day before, not the day after.
1 Day! This is how your Boss keeps the most productive. The slugs are releasable 100% of the time.
If you want to be releasable, do not be productive, complain, be a pain in the arss - your Boss will find you a job. Same goes for promotions. Mr. Peanut always help to promote the scuds as they were not competition and made him look smart. He figured, why promote someone who will run me competition.
Have a conversation with your manager. If they appreciate your work and keep blocking you. I'm sure it would make more sense to allow you to stay and move within the company then to look outside. (hint hint)
Dude, do your work and quit whining. Millennial I’m sure

Most hiring managers will call your current boss before interviewing. Did you have the conversation about exploring other opportunities with your current supervisor? If they are not an advocate then it will be very difficult for you.
Yes, check your shorts please.
When I am hiring I select the top candidates and then call each person's current manager to ask if they are releasable. If I get told no, I schedule the interviews with those that are. So yes, you can be blocked by your manager. I have never blocked any of my employees that have applied internally. I encourage it because there is only so much I can do as their manager job and money wise. I've always advocated looking both internally and externally. That way you have options if you get blocked internally.
ghost openings to cover for jobs going to Accenture & Tech Mahindra, T is king of deception
Here is the deal, even if you are the best candidate in the applicant pool, there are a lot politics happening behind the scenes. Will your current manage be able to backfill your position, likely not, and what is the motivation to go down by headcount by one? Another likely scenario is that hiring managers are conversing with your current management, deals are being made and you were part of the game plan.
you probably lack emotional intelligence.
"s— it to the boss" it is a requirement make sure to add in your profile
Typically if the position is not a promotion for you, your current organization can effectively block you by saying you are not release-able. I have had this happen when I applied for a lateral that would have been an improvement in quality of life....no oncall plus shorter commute and free parking and new work location had no city income tax.
I had wondered that too. I do not mind if they already have someone slated for the spot. That's how I got my current and last roles. As long as it is not that I am "trapped" in my role because I am the only one doing it. I mean, I have a backup but he has his own job to do too.
The openings you are applying are wired for a buddyof the hiring mismanager so no interviews will occur.
