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

Never give up! Finding a job is not easy for anyone, you're not alone! Even if you start off with a few hours a week, its something to put on your CV to get something bigger in the future. These things happen for a reason. Getting through this period of difficulties finding a job will make you so much more thankful when you do get one. Always look for advice on how to make a successful cv and cover letter with the right things to say and ask people will real experiences of getting jobs, like family or friends. A lot of people you know may have also experienced the same situation.

If you can not get a job then that is nothing to worry about, take your time, keep calm and keep looking that’s the best you can do in times like this. Ensure you are happy and not stressed as this can put more pressure on yourself. The only thing to do when you’re unable to find a job is to keep on looking, start of small such as cafe or somewhere close to home and then work your way up. Also try to look on different websites to see if anyone is hiring. Another thing in which you could do is get someone to read over your CV to see if there are any changes in which could be made.

Take the time to reflect on the positive aspects of your life. This is important because not having a job is very demoralising and its been proven that you ar much more likely to suffer from depression if you are unemployed because biologically humans need some type of structure and commitment in their life. Try to put your worries aside and don't let it determine your self-worth. If you are still feeling up to it, take the time to practice interview techniques, research on how to write a great resume. Most importantly still enjoy some aspects of your life and don't let it slip away every day with worry about finding a job.

Keep applying until you find one. I know I tried to get a job for two years and I finally got one. It takes time and you might need to revamp your resume. Also you can look at all kinds of jobs or see jobs that you might be qualified to do. Have you ever thought about going to school and getting a degree? It really all depends on what kind of background you have and what type of skills you bring to the job. I wish you the best and I hope you find a good job that you like.

Great question, I would say from my experience that creating your own work would be a great way to make some money. What I mean by that is freelancing. There are so many places you can start - upwork, fiverr, freelancer. Think of a skill you have (or would like to have) and create a gig around it. Learn as much as you can about this skill you have (or don't have yet). It can prove very rewarding not only financially but emotionally too. To do something that you enjoy / challenges you. Let me know what you think to this idea. All the best you can do it!

What are some of your transferable skills? Transferable skills are items such as Teamwork, Project Management, Compassion, Research and Implementation. These items can be listed on your resume after a brief description of the work you've done and experiences you've had. For instance, if you've built something with your hands you might write, "Building Project -- self-starter Research best practices, tools, and materials. Optimize limited resources and tight budget. Use numeracy, problem solving and decision making. Willingness to fail and learn." Once you get started, you can see how any project, craft, or volunteer experience can help to paint yourself as the confident and capable individual you are. If this still seems daunting, I have a trick to lower the stakes. Try writing this resume to yourself or your best friend for a fantastic mystery job. Take some of the pressure out of the first stages of resume writing by allowing yourself to write about your crafts, interests, hobbies, knitting groups and garage bands. If this feels like a waste of time, that is valid. If you don't have the mental, emotional, or other resources to try this activity, then skip it. I only share this method because it helped me see how I apply myself in many different arenas. This boosted my self-confidence and allowed me to re-frame my thinking around the job search. This may also open doors of thought around what kind of work you'd like to find, ways you'd like to boost your resume and/or your confidence. Thanks for reading!

There are several reasons why employment can be tough. The pandemic situation does make it more of a challenge. However; do you have any experience? a resume? do you have volunteer opportunities in your area? Lots of choices and reasons as far as the why you're not able to find a job. I would suggest also looking at your local temp employment agencies or department of labor/ work center, etc about what they can do to help you figure out your job situation. It could be that you need a refreshed resume/CV, or it could be that you need guidance on where to find jobs.

If you are unable to get a job try to take some time off to revevaluate you resume. Reasssure that you are qualified. And if not be open to more training. There are several oppurtunities and openings for the progressions and advancements that are taking place everywhere. Check all your sources such as: people, newsletters, social media, walk-ins etc. Motivate yourself to reaching your full potential will also encourage you if the next job interview isn't quite fitting because you are sure that you have given it your all. And also understand that even if they turn you down once, that doesn't mean that you can't reapply for that position.

I want to start by saying this statement is just not true. You can and you will. Good things take time. Have you ever heard the saying nothing good comes easy? This sentence perfectly applies. Just pick your head up and keep on trying. If what you has been doing while jobseeking hasn’t been working try to tweak your resources. Think outside the box. And most importantly you must stay confident and believe in yourself. Having confidence in yourself makes others believe in you too. It would be terrible for you to get an interview and meet qualifications of a job but give off the wrong impression because you are down or don’t believe in yourself.

I suggest to keep on looking and not give up. Things come to you when you least expected, but you have to play your part and go out there and look for it. Try by looking on online, asking friends, family members and etc. Although we are going through a tough time due to the pandemic, there's still a lot of job opportunities. Stay with a positive mindset and set a goal to achieve by the time you get the job. The more you put yourself out there by asking, the more chances you have to get the job. Don't get discourage if they don' call back, keep trying and don't give up because everything is possible.
