The highs and lows of finishing my PhD

Honestly I wouldn't read too much into it, you have to remember that the advisor is just doing they're job and needs to reduce the number of unemployed people as quickly as possible. Also it's unlikely that they have a good understanding of the specific job you want (they can't know everything about every job).
When I was job hunting before I started the phd I went to the job centre and told them my degree and what I was looking for I got a stoney silence and a 'so what are you really looking for?' But having said that not all advisors are the same in the month I went there I had other advisors who knew they couldn't really offer me any help but knew I was trying.
