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?

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

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?

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.

Been looking for a full time job for 2 years. Thousands of applications. A few interviews. Only to hear that some places are using AI to sift through applications. This feels kind of unfair. Gonna be time to go back to basics and avoid online applications.

How do you even have a chance when over a hundred people are applying for the same job in a small town. No chance if changing careers, no one will give you the opportunity or chance to prove that your skills will actually cross over to that industry. Is it also based on your age , they think your getting to old so why bother putting the effort into training. Also businesses do not want to have to provide any form of training these days they just want you to walk in and know how to do the job

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!
