How am I meant to get an interview?
I haven't been able to get interviews in my degree speciality, or a basic no experience job. I haven't worked for a while, so that doesn't help.
I finished my degree and I am currently unemployed.
I wish someone would give me a chance, I think I'd be a great employee.

Hey, that sounds really tough Jack, it’s hard when you’re putting yourself out there and not hearing back. It can take time, especially if you’ve been out of work for a bit.
Try to keep applying for roles, even ones just outside your field, as they can help you get your foot in the door. Tweaking your resume a little for each job can also make a difference too, we've got a handy checklist here: https://www.seek.co.nz/career-advice/article/7-signs-your-resume-is-just-right Hang in there. 🫶
