Give up

I give up. I’ve been unemployed for 5 months. I’ve had at least 20 interviews in this time but no offers. I have a one day a week job which is temporary and will end in two weeks.

I have qualifications and experience- it makes no difference.

i cannot even get a volunteer job I have a working with children check and a police check and my volunteer applications are just ignored.

I am so, so tired of this. i have a GP and a mental health plan but it’s not making any difference.

Has anyone else ever been in similar place? What did you do ?

Hi Danny

I feel your pain with finding a position especially with having the necessary qualifications. This can really be an awful period to be going through. I used to be in senior management with a background in human resources...Can I ask how many A4's your resume is?

The forums are a non judgemental place for you to post Danny

you are not alone

I feel your pain. 6 months of unemployment just finished for me. But I knew I had to focus on getting better in my head and that's what I did. I focused on eating healthier, getting physically fit, and getting better at living in the present moment. I have no advice on how a new job might eventuate, but I can state that your mental well being is better when you look after yourself. Now I am back at work I am struggling this week. The lack of sunlight and the lack of my exercise regime is starting to bring me down again. I need to force myself to get back into getting up earlier, going for long walks. I hope you find some peace soon.
