I’ve been applying for about 9 months and been out of work for 6 months, i’ve had ONE interview in that whole time of applying. I have been working since I was 15 and I have just recently turned 19 but every time I apply somewhere I get the “We won’t be proceeding with your application”. I have a lot of work experience and even applying back in hospitality I have no luck and I worked in hospitality for 2 and a half years! what do I have to do to at least get more interviews ?!

So many people are applying because of how bad our economy is for jobs. Try going into some and bring copies of your CV. Build your brand meaning throw yourself out there and put your name. Sometimes its better to show yourself so they can see you are dedicated to working. Being young and hungry for work is an absolute advantage for you right now so just keep going for it

Keep at it Olivia. With AI screening I think it's important to try and make sure you're using some of the key words from the job ad. Is that something you've tried?
Maybe your applications aren't making it as far as a human?

Wish I had the answer Olivia. Main thing is to look after yourself as finding a job can be rough on you...Especially for 9 months.
'We won't be proceeding' doesn't give you much to go on. Could reaching out asking for feedback about what you can improve on be an option? At least then you'll know what to target.
