I'm at my wits end. I need help. Actual help. Not just advice.
Back at the end of March I was made redundant from a Contact Data Assistant job I'd had for over 19 years. I'd initially got the job with help from the NAS after I left University, and the whole process had been relatively easy....
Well, this time around I went around looking for help again, but I couldn't get anything as direct as before. I got some off-hand advice, tried various things, hit dead ends.
I fleshed out my CV and started applying for jobs.... and getting rejections. Tons of applications, tons of rejections.
I applied for a mentoring program thingie, but the mentor lady just recommends more things I can apply to (and get rejected by).
I've been trying for 6 months, applying for tons of jobs I'm qualified for, at least as far as I can tell, and never even got to the interview stage.
No progress whatsoever. I even started learning Python just in the hopes of being qualified for more jobs, but to no avail.
I can't continue like this. It isn't enough. Trying as hard as I can and having nothing to show for my efforts is destroying my psyche. Sooner or later I'll have burnt through all the redundancy money I got and I won't be able to keep myself alive any more. I am terrified. There has to be another way!
Surely there has to be some sort of service where someone can utilise connections to get me a new job.... somehow?
Please?!
