I've been kind of in panic mode when it comes to job searching. Last week, 32 job applications. Week before, 23 job applications. Week before that, 23 job applications again. And it's official, I've been unemployed for a full year now. The longer it takes to get something, the worse it gets because hiring managers look down upon people that have been unemployed for a while and it starts raising questions about why no one wants to hire you.

And I have NO IDEA what I'm doing wrong either. I've had great interviews and I've had the experience needed for the positions I'm applying to. I've been complimented on my background experience and I've had great feedback from recruiters about the interviews I've had. I've even be willing to take lower pay rates that what I was making earlier just to have something. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. :c

Don't give up Neo! Your dedication is admirable! :) I'm sorta looking for jobs (didn't get the one I interviewed for xD), and even writing applications takes SO MUCH EFFORT ;_; Luckily I can do casual work around uni for as long as I want, but I'd really like to find a proper job soon. xD

Have you thought about doing some volunteering or something you can put on your CV to fill in the year you've been unemployed? I mean admining here is basically a volunteer job. xD "Working with socially awkward youths from a range of cultural backgrounds, holding game nights and planning and running events"? hahahaha
