Struggling to find full-time employment

Ellie

I'm going to be blunt with this one as well, as I have been dealing with this for the past two years, and I don't how much more rejection from potential jobs I can take.

I'm struggling to get full time work. REALLY STRUGGLING.

Anyone else facing the same problem. Please feel free to share.

    Firstly, well done for taking the leap and even apply for jobs! Getting a job nowadays is so difficult as so many apply for the same job. The rejection is horrible. I’ve been applying for jobs and just constantly get rejected. I’m lucky though as im in a job at the moment though; but desperate for a change.

    Volunteering is a good way to build skills and have experience to put on your CV. Maybe look at organisations that have volunteer positions but also paid employment. So after a while volunteering with them you could apply for a paid position and have the experience to show them. You could volunteer for your local fire and rescue service, they often need people to help with anything from admin through to volunteer firefighter, and then when the right paid position comes up you could apply and then show them all the experience you have whilst volunteering for them. 

    Keep at it though and applying, you will get there at some point!
