Meet a woman who regrets quitting her job in July because the job search has gotten 'bleak'

• Kristen left her job in July and is still looking to land a new position.
• She shared with Insider how hard it's been to find a job over the past few months.
• A career expert from LinkedIn said that "there are still plenty of opportunities out there."

Kristen, whose last name and employer is known to Insider, is one of the many people in 2022 who ended up leaving a job and joining the Great Resignation.

She left toward the end of July what she called a "very complicated and toxic work environment" thinking she would have another job lined up.
