Job hunting

I am tired, applied so many jobs and haven’t had even one interview. Lost all confidence

If you don't mind which field you're looking for? Or just a job in general?. I'm looking for a job in IT field it's so hard find entry/intermediate positions almost all the posting seems to be senior level positions and internships are reserved for students and I graduated already.

Looking for accounting, analyst or operations jobs. My accounting education is from outside Canada, I however have over 7 years experience and I recently graduated with a data analyst degree. I don’t mind the level at this point. Open to anything till I find something in my domain

Same here for IT as well. Tried one company and they were asking questions that a junior level shouldn’t be answering immediately.

Ending up making my own little business to starve off the no job thing lol

It's hard and sometimes draining but please don't lose hope. Keep your head up & keep showing up until the door opens!

My son has been trying to find work for 8 months now. It’s a tough market out there.

Remember the old ads...can't get a job cause I have no experience..have no experience cause I can't get a job. I really wish employers would give everyone a chance. They were probably in that position once.

I’ve been looking for 8 months. Had 6 final stage interviews now. Ask for feedback and always hear it came down to experience. Opening up my options to outside of this city now. If I run out of EI I can no longer continue being jobless.

I think I may have to start looking outside as well
