It’s hard not to feel discouraged applying for jobs and hearing nothing back. But it’s important to remember that job hunting is a numbers game – it’s not always about being the perfect fit, timing and luck have a lot to do with it. How do you stay motivated while you’re job hunting? 💬

No matter how many jobs I apply for, they either ghost me or turn me down. I've remade my resume 3 different times, adding more information with each change. I honestly don't have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong.

I have worked on short term contracts and my resume has a few roles. I am not getting much traction on my job applications. What should I do to make my work history less of leaping stones? Thank you in advance!

Cover Letter or not to cover letter? Based on my experience, both as a HR admin, and as a candidate, is the accompanying cover letter a thing of the past? with available technology now, and time constraints - do we really read/need them?

I apply only for jobs I am 100% qualified for and experienced to do. Recently got a rejection email saying my skills “don’t align with the role” mind you the job title was the exact same as my current job title, and I answered all the criteria. I’ve had plenty of rejections but this one just irked me. Does it mean my application wasn’t even looked at by a human? What can I do to communicate that I am actually exactly qualified for a role?

Hii i have no experience and was searching for a casual job while in school(no im not dropping out) but i feel as if my resume isn't good enough? Reading through these made me realize it was AI filtered placing more pressure. Does anyone have some tips to add to my resume?

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.

Based on my own experience of reviewing 100s of CVs over my career, sharing over some tips when CV writing. Feel free to add your own! - Spell/ grammar check. Always useful to get a friend or family member to have a read and offer feedback - Use a template, keep it well organised, easy to read, and consistent in formatting - Keep the job description / company in mind - Quality not quantity - keep it to 1 page and focus on a tailored CV for the role you're after, rather than using a generic one
