It’s relieving going through comments realising I’m not the only one going through the struggle of finding employment. In fields people are well over qualified to be working in. Do you think it’s the employers that are potentially intimidated by people’s CV knowing they can’t offer anything near that individuals $ worth? People are more inclined to stay on the benefit and not work. Kiwis especially have witnessed and lived through dramatic change within our own country.

Some companies make applicants sign up their own careers website to submit applications. I hope they all just use one portal like Seek. I don't want to leave my information there and I won't use it any more after my application is declined. Ridiculously, some websites don't even have the option to delete the account. I have to email them to delete my account. It is one of the frustrating things in job hunting. If you want to collect information on your own website, please make it PROPERLY!

Just a little holiday tea ☕ I joined a new company and on the invitation for our EOY party there’s a warning about how poor behaviour won’t be tolerated. I did some digging and found out that every year at least one person gets a warning for inappropriate behaviour and last year it was a quite well-liked manager! It’s wild to me how people can risk their whole career for some free drinks. Have you had anything similar happen at your company?

Applied for over 2000 jobs in 2 years and not 1 single interview. Almost 20 years in customer service/logistics. People say my CV is great with a lot of skills. Recruiters are the problem, saying you have the skills but not the right fit, maybe in their view but the company who is ACTUALLY looking for an employee has missed out because of 3rd party recruiters.

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? 💬

I need some advice on how to write a cover letter if you don't have much experience. I've had some casual retail jobs in the past, but nothing corporate and now I'm applying as a graduate for office roles and I just don't know how to sell myself because my experience is kind of irrelevant. Can anyone give any tips on what I should focus on?
