Grocery Assistant
I am a student finishing up with my studies at the end of November. I have applied to so many jobs but have never heard anything back. The fear is that I won't get a job and enough hours that be able to pay my rent, and my current employer can't give me the hours I need......

Hey Emma Keep Going you are on the Right Path,dont waste your time replying to Recruiting ads ONLY apply to private advertising...Recruit comps are Cowards and Parasites who will make you jump thru hoops for an interview and Deliver NOTHING. .Super Delusional and Toxic....If your Desperate for employment there are always cleaning jobs,bartender, barristers and waitressing, retail or if your more lowkey warehouse and distribution,and remember you are a Fantastic employee

It's a scary time, and I've been there myself a couple of times. I took a job as a cleaner once on a very low rate just to get some sort of money until I found something better. It ended up providing me with one of the best references ive ever had, so theres that. Would your employer support you finding some casual hours to work in with your current job?

sounds really rough, especially with rent coming up... it is hard when you’re doing everything right and still not hearing back. maybe some temp or casual work could help for now while you wait for something more stable. u got this!!!!

That’s a tough spot you’re in Emma. Have you had a chance to follow up with any of those jobs for some feedback? We know it's not possible with all of them. 🙏
