Been applying since january…. Little interviews. Zero job offers 🥺
You’re not a failure at all. The job market is rough right now, and it’s not a reflection of your skills. I’ve been applying for admin roles too, and it’s taking way longer than I expected.
Been applying nonstop and had a few interviews. No one is biting. Not liking the market right now.
That makes 2 of us, been applying since last year. Don't be discouraged, the right job is on the way
Honestly, same here - same experience 😔
