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

First thing, never lose hope and never give up. I know you must feel demotivated from time to time and sometimes feel like giving up but don't stop. Continue doing what you have always been doing and believe in yourself. Start from zero levels if needed and maintain continuity of your hard work. Then there'll be a day you'll be going to your dream job. It might take time but remember, good things always take time. Be positive and work hard because hard work does pay off. Stay safe and healthy, and you will surely achieve the dream job. All the best.

While looking for a job may be difficult, we want to improve the strategies we are attempting for job searching. The best way to do this is to create a professional cover letter to send in with a resume stating why you would be a good fit for the job. Employers will list what qualifies candidates for the position and you can gather a good idea if you would be interested in the new job. If you are given the opportunity to attend an interview, a helpful tip would be to research questions to ask employers that will increase their interest. If you are a recent graduate, you can list this in your resume and find a job/career that accepts entry-level experience. Job searching may take a long time, but if you are actively applying to several jobs a week, you will have a higher chance of finding a new job.

I didn’t lose hope. I figured that any situation cant be constant. It is bound to change somehow, but change cannot happen on its own either. Generalizing that i will never get a job or my life is bad where it is now is just what it is, a generalization that we are all prone to do. The moment we recognize that we are in control of how we behave, we can tame these pessimistic thoughts. Yes it’s true that we might feel we’re failing, we might think we will never get anywhere, that all the doors are locked and will not open unless a strong wind magically blows through. Reality is these are just thoughts and feelings, and they don’t necessarily have to be true. What we can do is accept them but try not to identify with them, for all we know we have control over is our behavior. There are always options, there are always choices out there, as long as we keep trying and adapting. Sometimes the same patterns of behavior will lead to the same exact results. It’s important to try to check what we are missing, what we can do better, what we can work on. Nothing comes without a bit of effort.

If you need a job right away, consider applying for a temporary job to make sure your basic needs are met. Don't focus entirely on job boards. Use this time to network and try to gather information from others, who may be able to offer you help finding a job. Temping is an excellent way to get your foot in the door at a company, learn some new skills, and build your professional network. Job searching is a time-consuming endeavor that requires diligence, persistence and follow-through. If you're minimally investing your time or applying to positions with minimal preparation or follow-up, that could be the reason why you can't find a job. What to do about it: Structuring your schedule so there is daily dedicated time to job searching can be a helpful first step to ensure you're investing enough time in the search. Set a clear goal, such as applying to one position per day or three per week.

Ensure your resume is up to date and represents what you bring to the table including skills, experience and training! Make it stand out by matching it as closely to the needs expressed on the job description. A cover letter is also helpful to explain why you are interested in the role and what specific skills you bring to the table. Prepare for the interview by googling some interview questions and role playing with someone you know. Be prepared with real life examples and explaining them using the situation, action and result technique. Remember that you are also interviewing them, so be prepared with some good questions, not how much money does it pay. An example of a question may be what are the team dynamics like? or what are the strategic priorities for the year? or what are some challenges the organization is facing and what are some of the successes they have achieved recently.

It can be hard to know what to do if you are not able to land a job. However, there are several routes you might consider to help you. Firstly, you might want to take unconventional approaches to finding work: ask around, post flyers of the skills you offer, volunteer or take an internship so that others get to see what it's like to work with or manage you--maybe they'll want to offer you a paid position. Secondly, if you have the time and resources, you might want to take some training courses to boost your resume. There may even be free online courses that could increase your chances of getting selected in the area you want to work in. Thirdly, you may want to expand your search by broadening the type of job you're looking for, or the amount of pay you'll accept. The most important thing is to realize that you have value regardless of your ability to find and do work. Try to keep that in mind and don't lose hope. Best of luck!

I'll assume you applied to many jobs in various fields and maybe some poorly paid positions just so you would get something. The usual options are: - Training: To make your resume more appealing, try to get some training, further education, ... This makes you gain more skills and means you have more to offer. - Self-employment: Whatever your field of work, there probably is a way to start your own one-(wo)man-show. Whether it be the thing you were trained to do or e.g. making youtube videos, selling crochet blankets on etsy, offering simple services, ... - Social Services: Contact social services. Not only might they help you find a position or set you up in a program, but if everything else fails, they might be able to offer some social wellfare money, depending on which country you live in. They also provide you with helpful resources for people in your situation.

First of all ... RELAX. We've all been there and it's nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you're physically and mentally being proactive. Often, application rejections have more to do with high competition/response rate than experience and competency, so don't take them personally. However, there's things you could do in the meantime: 1.) Evaluate your cover letter or interview approaches, which is often the first impression. 2.) Brush up on your skills and check-in with previous colleagues, e.g., see what they're up to, and 3.) Think outside the box. Rather than wait for/respond to job postings, reach out to a company not visibly hiring. Not only do you have nothing to lose, but you just expanded your job-seeking resources. Good luck!

If you can’t get a job try to volunteer first and then you may find something interesting. Then volunteering will give you experience. This will give you time to perfect your resume and your instincts. As time passes in volunteering you will grow and learn patience, endurance and mental skills. You will learn to be grateful for the people in your life. You will learn that giving is definitely better than receiving. When you have finished volunteering you may even receive a letter of recommendation. This will open many job opportunities for you and you will have looked back at the challenges.

If you can't get a job right now at least, then keep trying, it may take longer than expected but your time will come around. Giving up is not always the best answer. although it may seem like a hard time, you are not the only one going through it. Even if it may seem like a tough time for you just know that it's like that for everybody even if it not everybody shows it. Long story short is keep looking for a job because there is a place out there that would be lucky enough to have somebody like you working for them.

I can imagine that it's pretty scary to not have a job, especially if you're straight out of school or otherwise in a position where you're "supposed" to have a job by now. Please realize that most people will have multiple jobs throughout their adult life, and it's not an all uncommon. The thing is to have a system and a plan, not just a goal. Keep working on what kind of job will get you to the next level, meaning closer to the point where you have what you want. If working on your training makes sense, do that. If you need to network, do that. Sometimes reading (or writing) articles in your field can help you "stay relevant". Stay strong!

One should work on themselves, try to figure out what is lagging. And keep trying and maybe consult a coach. These job-finding times can be really stressful and full of challenges but we need to calm down and work through it. So, How are we supposed to know what need to be improved right? well, that's where the coaches help you out. but, what if you do not get any coach? Well, we figure things out on our own. We keep looking for the things that need to change and maybe what is the thing that is really lagging. And I think mostly stay calm and positive.

It depends on where you live. Many countries/states/municipalities have programs to aid unemployment with their activation - public works programs, subsidized further education and other forms of employment policies. You also can try to get job in different professions, not just the profession for which you have got formal education. Many people with university degree work in professions where university degree is not needed. They would just need secondary school to perform the job, but they are happy working in their profession as they are happy that they have got job and regular and decent salary with which they can live happily. You don't need to have a lot of money to live happily as more money than amount needed for necessities doesn't bring happiness.

Sometimes when looking for a job, it’s tough to job search and actually find jobs suitable for you. Don’t give up and keep looking because eventually a job will come up and fit well with the lifestyle and schedule you may have! It’s easy to lose hope as it is such a long and extensive process but patience is very key for a situation like this. Definitely try looking through magazines or online sites like indeed where you can adjust the preferences and new job listings are posted everyday. You can also set the preferences for the area and the mile range you’d like to go to.

A great way to start is to do some self reflecting. Ask yourself what are your strongest traits, abilities, and what are you good at. Most of all, what do you do that can make you feel good and be a better person. Lot of times, we apply for jobs that we are either over or under qualified for. More so, we apply for work simply for the sake of "work". When you apply for a job that you feel detached from, it shows during your interview process. Sometimes, a little bit of passion helps the interview process, and bosses can see your enthusiasm and will to work.

Finding a suitable job is often a stressful experience, especially during the Covid-19 period. As a person who has gone through this, below are several suggestions that I believe would be useful: 1) If we feel anxious, frustrated, angry or whatever negative emotions, it would be more helpful to simply allow ourselves to have those emotions rather than resisting them. We are all human, it is completely normal that we contact those feelings in face of such unpleasant experience. 2) Keep a realistic perspective of the situation. This means we should not catastrophize or magnify this temporary failure, e.g. regard ourselves as losers or think that we would stay unemployed forever. 3) Take active actions to improve the situation. Some helpful ways may include revising our resumes, try networking with relevant people via LinkedIn, go to job affairs, etc. 4) Lots of people would re-evaluate their initial expectations on their dream jobs at this point, however, it is also important to keep in mind that we should not over downgrade our expectations in order to get a job. Accept a job offer that is way below your expectation would only lead to more suffering and regrets (I personally went through this). 5) A golden rule I personally follow when facing uncertainty is to do the things that you feel definitely right. To me, this means having good sleep, doing regular exercise, reading a good novel, spending time with my family, etc..

Improve your CV and try learning new things and stay proactive and expanding your knowledge. If you are improving while searching for a job then you are not staying still and this itself helps you get a job or at least feel better and in a good state of mind. By moving forward and learning new things you have the perspective and feeling of self that is more positive and having positive self esteem helps with motivation and proactive behavior. One way or the other this will help with finding a job sooner than later. You might not see it at first but when it happens it will be apparent in hindsight.

You can be disappointed and sad, but you should still go and look for jobs. I lost my job before, and it took me 6 months, endless job applications and job interviews to finally find a job. For some it may take a shorter or longer time, but remember not to give up and always do your best in each job interview or application. :) Or if you are feeling like it, you can also try to start your own business online by taking advantage of your interests and hobbies. The important thing is to not feel too beat up and stand up again to find new ways to have a job or earn income.

Take the time to think of perhaps greater possibilities for yourself whether it is a better opportunity than just a job, maybe a business, maybe someone has done it before, where you get to ask them for help, but if you don't like asking for help you can simply ask online, YouTube, and other platforms that will Defenitely be helpful to provide you with the necessary help, and also ask yourself what kind of job or business would you be able to sustain on the long term, depending on your personality, behaviors, and capabilities. Ask Google and it can help you with alot of things in terms of research

If you can’t get a job you can always either apply for another job, do a course to get a job or you can volunteer and gain experience from there then re- apply. You may feel hopeless but it will get better. It’s really good that you have the courage to find another way to achieve your dreams. Keep working on it you will get there. So try these options and see which one is suitable for you. You can always access career counsellors and look around the internet to see other peoples stories as well. Just remember not everyone will get a job the first time!

Well, for starters ring around in your area and see if anyone needs someone, if you can't get a job for physical or mental reasons then perhaps volunteer somewhere to do something with your time and help your community out. You could always look into self employment options like writing books or doing a course online to get you in the door for a job, if you are not working then volunteer work is a great start. It helps. There is another option- ringing around and asking if you can have a trial period were you work for free for a couple of weeks and see if they want to employ you after that?
