Why is applying for jobs so hard….

Why is applying for jobs so hard….

So recently I’ve been actively on the hunt for jobs even though I’m currently on DSP (one of the Centrelink payments). The first job that I’ve found on the company’s website that I have expressed interest in, have applied for it through the application as well as emailing my resume to the HR manager. Got no response. Sent them a follow up email a week later (which was last week) after I applied, still got no response. I sent them a follow up email again (2 days ago) the week after I sent my first follow up email, still no response.

In the meantime, I have also applied for other jobs too and even though I’ve emailed my resume to various HR managers or have applied for those jobs through the websites, I’m still yet to hear back from any of them…

why do they make applying for jobs so difficult?? Especially when none of them would ever get back to you after you’ve applied and even after you’ve sent follow up emails too……

I want to cry 😭😭😭😭😭

if anyone wants to know, the jobs I want to do are mainly the back of house roles. There’s no way I’m gonna go for the front of house/customer facing roles lol

Re: Why is applying for jobs so hard….

I guess it's good to keep your eye out if there's a job that really strikes you @Blackcloud

I found one this morning, and sent it to people who may be interested. As much as I don't need a job, I tend to look through positions every day. It's a real eye opener to see how careers and jobs have progressed over the years.

All the best with your new course!
