It’s hard not to feel discouraged applying for jobs and hearing nothing back. But it’s important to remember that job hunting is a numbers game – it’s not always about being the perfect fit, timing and luck have a lot to do with it. How do you stay motivated while you’re job hunting? 💬

I need some advice on how to write a cover letter if you don't have much experience. I've had some casual retail jobs in the past, but nothing corporate and now I'm applying as a graduate for office roles and I just don't know how to sell myself because my experience is kind of irrelevant. Can anyone give any tips on what I should focus on?

The front door is locked; use the side window. Stop blaming yourself for the rejection emails. You aren't fighting a person; you're fighting a keyword-matching robot. Most ads here are just "process" for roles already promised to someone else. How to win: - Stop being an "Applicant." Start being a "Solution." - Identify the Manager. Message them directly: "I saw X problem on your site, here is how I’d fix it." Make the interview a formality. Skip the queue.

Sometimes we feel the need to include all of our experiences on a resume, but I recently learned from a career expert that it's more effective to highlight only the most important and relevant experiences related to the position you're applying for. Be sure to include your job descriptions and measurable achievements for each role, along with the years of experience. Trust me—it works!

Writing a cover letter? 📝 Switch 'To Whom it May Concern' for one of these: ➡️ Dear [person's name] ➡️ To the hiring manager ➡️ Dear Sir or Madam ➡️ To the [department name] "To Whom it May Concern" is OK if you don't know who'll be reading your email. But for a cover letter, it's best to address who you're trying to impress. 🤩 More on the topic here: https://www.seek.co.nz/career-advice/article/when-and-how-to-use-to-whom-it-may-concern What's your go-to salutation, friends?
