Unemployed and feeling lost…
I am currently experiencing repeated rejections from job applications, and it’s become a cycle. I have been feeling very dejected and emotionally affected. Also, I am not getting the support I need. If any of you have had similar experiences, would you mind sharing how you managed them?

It is frustrating when we want to apply and have job that afternoon or something... In this day and age things take more time then we expect....
Example: A friend applied in beginning of March and now half way through May, the place calls and want to talk ..... Now did the process of weeding people out or such took that long or is it the first or second choice did not work out.... but honestly after that length of time people are in mind frame they were rejected.
I think it is a combination of things ...
Computer scanning of resumes looking for key words and HR people whom think they can read a resume and see potential or whatever.... once job seeking went so impersonal the disconnect happens. The job i have now and see as a long term fit. The person before me had a better crafted resume but could not do the job correctly and called out 2 days a week .... every week ...seriously employers can't see that when you are just scanning a resume.
I went to work thru Temp agencies they are used a lot in my area
#1 they do the legwork and find jobs that may not even be advertised.
#2 if job was misrepresented or company is not working out you can leave and move on.
I call it try before you buy for both employer and employee.......
Hey buddy, thanks for sharing..
I tried temp job agency too.. but no response either.. I have been trying and I have no clue what I should do.. the company won’t mention or update candidate the reason to the rejection or why u r not shortlisted.. the job agency stop connecting with me ever since. Also, i felt ghosted when i sought professional helped.. i dont know anymore.. i even had nightmares at night.. dreaming of someone is using a python snake to attack me.. i have no one in my life i can speak with that will understand what i am going through. I am sorry if i sounded like a crap.

I get it so many unanswered .. things and it wears on you .... For example i had 2 interviews, verbally offered a job. They said their HR would contact me and it is slow process i had to contact there HR 2 time after waiting patiently for a week .... then finally was told they went another way.... ????
I still would like to know why............
in the end on i was contacted and found something that in the end was better for me.... There is a big difference in agencies......... if one does not work use another ... if possible go in and talk with whomever is your contact/ rep is...discuss in all aspects of what you would consider .... usually the more narrow of focus you give them the fewer things they will contact you about.
If they do not have a position that fits your outline... they seem to never call.
What type of work are you looking for ?
I left my options fairly open have done things in all sorts of industries and have been paid fairly well....found things i like and am good at that I may have never tried or applied on my own.
