I've applied for hundreds of jobs over two years. Recruiters call my CV "one of the best," but I get no interviews. Maybe I need to upskill to standing out in the post recession market? My question on upskilling to both the hiring managers and job seekers: • Does aone more multiple Coursera/edX/Google Certificate actively differentiate a strong CV and secure interviews? • In your experience, is this investment a clear hiring advantage?

I'm feeling very unappreciated at work. I'm a senior developer - nearly 54 now - and my level of output is very high but I rarely get any recognition, whereas I see younger workers get promotions and lots of encouragement. I think it’d just be nice to feel seen or appreciated - should I say something or just forget about it? I think it would be almost impossible to get another job at my age - what would you do?

Honestly losing hope, I’ve been searching and applying for any type of jobs since I left school back in 2023 and and I’ve had more interviews then jobs, been told to “look for a job” or “you’re not looking hard enough” like bro I’ve been applying and handing out my cv’s to stores and still nothing lowkey getting sick of this

I attended an on-site interview. One month past, however, I got no feedback even though I approached the recruiter and the interviewer. I think it is the basic respect to give a feedback both negative or positive.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed... job hunting in NZ is impossible! So far, I’ve only managed to do one short-term labouring contract. Honestly, it feels like there are hardly any jobs out there. Is there any advice on how to get a permanent job?

90 day trial period. I got let go at the end of the 90 day trial period at the start of July. I was not told why and at the time I was in no state to ask. How do I go about explaining this in interviews. I feel like it is a dark cloud of my interviews as they all seem to think something negative happened, even though nothing did happen. Do I just take this period off my CV all together ?

Happy to know everyone else hates that employers would rather use AI to fill roles than hire real people who might even be under qualified. I'm tired of people in higher up positions complaining about no one working even though they're the ones making it hostile and undesirable to work.

The front door is locked; use the side window. Stop blaming yourself for the rejection emails. You aren't fighting a person; you're fighting a keyword-matching robot. Most ads here are just "process" for roles already promised to someone else. How to win: - Stop being an "Applicant." Start being a "Solution." - Identify the Manager. Message them directly: "I saw X problem on your site, here is how I’d fix it." Make the interview a formality. Skip the queue.
