Sometimes the job market may be a little tough but never give up. There are a lot of places hiring. Surf the web and you’ll be surprised to see how many places are hiring. You can also use to web to see what are the job requirements. Some jobs might require certain education, if you can't find a job you can also consider to go back to school. Do some research, some schools are also liked with jobs so when you finish the program the school will let you get an internship, and that will be your moment to shine. If a job likes you and even if they are not hiring they can always refer you somewhere else. Now a days referrals go a long way.

You must not quit or give up at the idea of trying again. It may feel like you are never gonna get a job but that's not possible if you try again and again without counting as to how many times you tried. Just try and try until you succeed. With a conviction and the desire to achieve a particular thing, we can overcome any hurdles in life. We all feel defeated and failed but what is more important is to bounce back! We all can bounce back we just need to unleash our hidden potential. Everyone is capable of getting up after falling from a height no matter what, but what stops us from getting up varies from person to person. If we do not take heed of whatever is scaring us, we can get up smoothly without anybody's help.

There are many options that you can consider. Try to work on improving your resume in the meantime and doing mock interviews with friends or family. Investigate other areas of work you may not have considered working in before. You can do this! No matter what, do not give up. There are always jobs available, they just might not be in your current field. Don't lose hope and don't be afraid to reach out to local career counselors or others that may help you be able to find the right job for you. Asking family members for help can also be one way of learning about new careers or jobs you haven't previously considered. Best of luck to you!

keep looking! Just like taking a break from your job search is important, so is having the right mindset. It is hard to be a job seeker, applying for many jobs and possibly not hearing back from employers. Work to focus on the progress you are making with each application—honing your search tactics, getting efficient with your application process, and understanding what keywords to use for an ATS are all important tools to use as you go through your search. Each time you apply for a job, you are improving your process, and that’s great progress to landing a job.

if i cant get i job, i would just try over and over again until i have found one. you just gotta keep on trying, even if its hard. just deliver your resume to all the places around you, it dosnt matter if you dont think you will suit the job, you probobly will. you just have to give it some time. so give out your resume to all the stores around you and see if you can get one. if not there is always family memebers who prob could use some help. like cleaing the house, mowing the lawn, ect. just ask around, and you will get a job somewhere eventually

Pick up a side hustle or learn something and then make your own job. Stay positive stuff always improves. Plus there are always free resources around. Plus there are always free resources you have just got to look around. Maybe go to your local town hall or look online, go to your public library they could always help. I could also address to food bank I guess like if it's an extra resources that can help, free schooling either online or otherwise. What would also help you is learning some basic life skills like cooking. Aside from that I'm not sure maybe gardening.

Many young people can find it hard to get work - especially if this will be your first job! Do not give up, keep applying for jobs via websites like Indeed and LinkedIn. Maybe you could also have a look for some free online courses to help enhance your CV? FutureLearn could be a good place for you to start. Also finding some unpaid works-experience or voluntary work could be a positive step in the right direction! This will show employers that you are committed, that you have interests and it could even help you to secure a reference to help you to land that dream job.

When I wasn't able to get a job, I instead took the time for personal development, like reading books, meditating, and helping those around me. There's limited time in life when we are actually able to spend time on ourselves, so it's actually a gift when you don't have a job. It's important to use this extra time to find out what our goals are and have a long-term perspective of how we will go about achieving these goals. You don't have to expect that you do something productive during this time, but you have to get quality reflection time.

Research is crucial. Try to find out more about the culture of a potential employer by surfing online, or if close by, just going and watching the employees going in and out. I wouldn't suggest applying through the job sites, if you find a position there, just go to the company's website and apply there instead. Build a strong C.V. / Resume, translate it to several languages (this service should help https://isaccurate.com/arabic-translation-services - I used it once and stayed pleased). Be patient friend and do not stop chasing your dreams. I wish you good luck with landing your dream job!

Wait for your time. It will come. Keep putting yourself out there. Don't give up. In the meantime, don't just wait around. Get more education, volunteer somewhere, do something to make yourself a better candidate than everyone else. Be you, and only you can change yourself. No one else can do that for you. Having something good takes work. It's never easy. If you keep working hard, people will notice. Even the smallest thing can help you. Learn another language to put on your resume. If you have time while waiting for a job, this can help you become more attractive to an employer. Pick up skills, like office or admin work, anything. Anything will help. Don't sit around. Get out there. Good luck!
