Finding a job

Some rejections, but what hurts more is the silence. I’ve been applying to jobs nonstop and I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong anymore. . Tweak my resume, rewrite cover letters, tell myself the next one will be different, and then it isn’t. It feels like I’m stuck in a system that won’t talk back. Everyone keeps saying the market is “better,” but that’s not what this feels like at all. Are you stuck like me?

After having no issues finding work in the past, I’m struggling this time. I left my last role in Dec 2024 to prioritise completing my final year of a double degree and graduating on time, which I did in Nov. I’ve applied for 40+ roles here since with only default rejections. I’ve reworked my resume and cover letters multiple times, so I’m wondering if the employment gap is the issue. I’m applying for roles I already have experience in to ease back into work before moving into graduate roles.

Is it getting harder for a man age 59 harder to find a job. i tried IT, warehouse, and retail and it seems they are not interested of employing someone at that age. how does the Centrelink expect us to find a job??

How are you supposed to get experience if no one will hire you to get said experience?

I have been applying for jobs for 5 months now and nothing has come my way. I only ever get emails saying “unfortunately”. Can I please just get one job?

Is it just me, or is finding a job that even sits you done for an interview really difficult at the moment? I’ve applied for over 40 jobs in the last 2 weeks, and not a single one has even looked at my application??? I’m not necessarily under qualified either.

as a teenager in australia it is so hard to find a job:,) we’re constantly getting ignored even by the people who say they are “constantly hiring” even the ones that say no experience needed. ive been applying to jobs left and right and im not getting a single response back. they say teenagers need to get a job from now to provide them in the future, im 17 and i am honestly so eager for a job but theres no luck. does anyone have any advice?

Dear employers, PLEASE tell us what you want. It feels like no one even reads resumes. I’m trying every strategy, every template.... it still goes nowhere. Is it really this hard now? What do you want to see? Because I’m tired and lost.

I’ve applied for over 40 jobs, a few have already gotten back to me saying unsuccessful, mainly cause i have no experience. But how am I supposed to have experience if no one’s willing to teach me? I’ve been at the same job, same place for 4 years straight and I want to explore the workforce now.
