What should I do if I can't get a job?

First off, understand that not getting a job doesn't mean its the end of the world. Life is long and it's a long journey. Understand that there's different paths that you can take in life and that you don't always have to take the path that everyone else is taking. So just remember that it's okay. Find something that you're passionate about and throw yourself at it. Find something you really want to do and yes, maybe it won't work out at first but remember that failure is just a step you need to take to achieve success. You will find a way in the end.

There are two ways to look at it, if you dont get a Job. One is , try for jobs that are not in your radar, are of not your choice, till you find one that is of your choice. These could be jobs that are irrelevant to your qualifications, may not be well paid(as per your expectations etc) . The 2nd option is (if you can manage your needs )to seek new skill training's/courses that will give a edge to seek and compete for jobs that you stand a chance to get them. This way, your time is well utilised and you can be better equipped to nail that elusive job.

Try to get an internship or volunteer at different places to help show how much you want or need a job. People will then recognize that you are serious about your work and then someone might help you find a job. You can get offered jobs as an intern if you are doing a great job and working hard. You can also volunteer and make friends volunteering so they can help with finding jobs for you. There are also job websites that you can put your information into and what skills you have to help you find the right job profession for you.

Ask yourself why can't you get a job. Sometimes we conceal real reasons because they're hard to admit, or they could unveil some truths that make you feel uncomfortable. Write a list of why's — for example: whay can't I get a job? Because nobody is hiring me. Why is nobody hiring me? Because I'm too old. Why am I too old? Because society thinks so. Why does society think so? Because many old people are not productive... and so on. When you hit the root of the issue, work on that and create a set of tools that make you the best option for that job.

If you are having trouble getting a job, first have a look at your resume and see if you are highlighting the skills and experience that are relevant to what you are applying for. You can’t always use the same resume for every job. Some jobs want to hear that you are genuinely interested in obtaining employment. They also want to ensure that they are choosing the right person for their job so they will skill match your resume with their position specification and then see if you are a good fit personally for their organisation. Approach employment agencies that specialise in the area of your expertise.

Hmm that sounds like a difficult situation! Well ask yourself, "Why can't I get a job?" If it is something against your control such as all the jobs that are hiring are far away from where I live than, that isn't all your fault But if it is something mentally that is going on with you, such as anxiety of finding a job and keeping it, than it is something to do with yourself. I'm not saying it's your fault, I'm saying it is something you can somehow control or change. Don't you agree? But I think if you truly want to have a job but you can't get it, maybe you could ask around your friends and family for one or volunteering is something useful as well

When you choose a job. You don't choose anywhere. It will be best that you choose the place that aligns with your personality and your interest. I believe that you always can make improvement in area that you are still weak; be it the resume, the self-presentation and confidence during interview, the job knowledge. You can work on it. If you cannot get a job now. It does not mean you cannot get a job in the future. You work to improve yourself, you become the person your dream company look for and your dream job will be yours.

Firstly don't get yourself down about not having a job, if your able to work for example you got no health reasons that's proventing you getting a job apply for jobs locally to where you live secondly volunteering is great place to gain new skills which hopefully will help you gain employment in the future in something you wish to do :) look at what your skills you already have and what skills you can learn which will help you get the experience you need to get the job you want. Hope that helps answer your question and good luck

Keep looking. Go online and do more research about job opportunities. Reach out to people in your network. Maybe someone you know can give you important information. Tailor your resume for different opportunities. Volunteer for events in your area and build connections. If you don't mind moving, seek out opportunities in a different areas. If you are adventurous, move abroad for a better career market. Additionally, don't take a minor setback as a tragedy of life. You will learn precious lessons through trial and error. Life is more about self-growth. Don't stay in your comfort zone. Being too comfortable is not a wise way to live your life.

Take a critical look at your resume and then have a professional give you feedback for potentially making it more noticeable. Update and tweak it to better reflect the job for which you are applying. Have multiple resumes on hand for different positions. During this "down" time, try to study and accrue new skill sets to further highlight and enhance your abilities. Do not put all of your "eggs in one basket" but apply for as many jobs as you can. The more you actively seek, the higher your odds are of being seen and of finding a job that is a great fit.
