“What the actual hell is happening in NZ’s job market rn? Applied to 500+ roles in 3 months—mostly Retail, IT, Sales, Management postions, where I’ve got 8 years crushing sales targets and ops. Rejections everywhere. Ghosted. Crickets.
Are employers hiring clones with AI brains, or what are you lot actually looking for? Sick of it, Spill the tea, recruiters.

Yeah it's pretty tough right now Navneet and it's hard to know why you've been missing out tbh. 500 does sound like a lot of applications and it does sound like you're applying across a few sectors. Do you think a less is more approach could be an option? e.g. spending a bit more time researching and personalising your applications to show why you're a really great fit? Just an idea...🤷♂️
