Why is applying for jobs so hard….

@Blackcloud do those professional resume and cover letter writers cost 💲$$?

@Glisten yes it does

Thanks for sharing @Blackcloud .

Do you feel connected to people at uni? It sounds like uni can be a helpful distraction?

All the best with job hunting. Sometimes, I've felt that job hunting in itself is a full time job... can be draining..

Glad to hear your CV and resume turned out top stuff @Blackcloud

@tyme in terms of feeling connected to people at uni, no I don’t and I don’t have any in real life friends. On top of that, I don’t have any support system except for my counsellor at kids helpline.
I’m not sure about distraction, but anything that involves volunteering, work or uni or even participating in any sorts of activity does help me get out of the house during the day which is a good thing at least.

@ArraDreaming thank you, how are you going with work right now (if you’re currently working)? And are you happy with your current job?

and that’s ok, as long as I’m on Centrelink payments (not on jobseeker but on DSP) and getting the income from that then it’s all good, no biggie. 🙂

How are you @Blackcloud ?

I was just reading back at your posts, and I was wondering, do you think being at uni is part of the reason getting a job is harder? What I've noticed is that those who are at uni struggle to secure jobs due to uni times. That is, there are days and times they can't work because of uni commitments. Whereas those who are already working can cut down or change days. A lot of places what people to be available all the time.

Do you think this is a similar case for you?

@tyme no it’s not cause I didn’t do uni last semester this year, so only next semester (next week) is when I’m starting my new course. Also, since I am about to start doing my new course I’m not so worried about looking for jobs anymore, but I know what I’m planning on doing next by the time that I get to the stage of looking for jobs whenever I feel like that’s possible.
