Security Officer
I'm getting nowhere! I'm 48 years old and I've been unemployed for at least 9 months. Security is my profession. I am looking to get out of the security industry and try something different. I've been applying for entry level jobs such as night fill supermarket roles, and I've even applied for work at TWG. All of my applications have been unsuccessful and i am usually sending out 5-6 job applications a month, some may think that it isn't much but it's easier for me to stay on top and manage.

We hope you're looking after yourself as it can be a really tough time. It can be really hard to pin down why you're not having more luck. Have you had any helpful feedback over that time?
If you're not seeing that feedback, we've got some thoughts on asking for it here: https://bit.ly/3N21Z54. It's not always an easy thing to get but where you can, it can really help you pin down tweaks you can make next time. Good luck and we hope that helps. 🙂
