Do you follow up on job applications and if so, when do you do it and how many times? I don't hear back from some companies AT ALL! It's so frustrating. Would a follow up email change anything do you think?

My cousin recently got a job after months of searching - she was having difficulty securing a role for a few months and I checked in often to try help where I could. Plot twist - the hiring manager was someone who rejected her in the past but kept her profile on hand for - what is now - a future opportunity. Maybe someone needs to hear this today - sometimes "no" just means "not yet" and staying calm, gracious and patient can be a networking moment for a better role.

Hello fellow job seekers, I've been applying for jobs since March and while I get interviews now and then I haven't been able to lock in a job. 😭 How do you stay positive and motivated when you're job hunting? How can I hype myself when I feel deflated?

I am a seasonal Talent Acquisition professional who has worked with one of the FANG companies. I am still not getting an opportunity in NZ to kick-start my career here. It's getting frustrating, I can see so many job openings, can't understand who they are hiring :(

Dear Seek Team, I would like to suggest adding a mandatory field for "Working Hours per Week" in job listings, especially for part-time positions. This will help job seekers better assess whether a role fits their availability before applying, and in turn, save time for both applicants and employers. Some employers include this information, which is helpful. Making it a standard part of job listings would provide clarity and improve the overall efficiency of the recruitment process. Thank you.

Hey everyone, I’ve just taken a year off for maternity leave and I’m ready to start applying for roles again. I’m wondering how to best address the employment gap - should I mention it directly in my cover letter or put "maternity leave" on my resume? Or would it be better to leave it off entirely and address it during an interview instead? I’m a bit worried that the gap might affect my chances of hearing back.
