Can we talk about how exhausting it is to be looking for a job right now? Or is it just me? I just know that looking for jobs, filling out applications, following up, and waiting for a response is wearing me out.

It certainly is exhausting. After a bit of scrolling through jobs, I feel like I am just seeing the same postings over and over again. It truly is a terrible time to be job searching

I felt the same way. I was getting either no response or the position has been filled. It's all bots responding back so what I did was ask Chat GPT to rewrite my entire resume to remove words the bots look at to reject an application and to add words that the bots liked and then BOOM! I had 6 interviews this past week with 2 job offers! Give it a try, hopefully this helps.

Its exhausting alright. It seems the older and more experienced they put you aside. Most jobs dpnt exist and your scrolling hours for real. I miss recruitment agencies big time. I feel like the interviews ive had have been a waste of time and money and they look like 12 years old. No questions about me. I sat for an hour listening to my last interviewer speak about themselves and then the interview was over, no questions asked of me. Just listening to some youngsters ego! Gone are rhe days they even have manners to reply! 36 years of experience and i feel like alot are ageist!

Exhausting, demoralizing, confidence killer, all of the above. When I was searching, it was so tiring, but I did my best to stay motivated so that in my interviews, the company could still see a semblance of my passion and enthusiasm. Stay consistent and keep your motivation so that they will still sense it when you speak to or interview with them. You got this!

Mmmm, are you applying online? Someone told me to apply online, wait a week if no call… call the company to speak to HR to get an update on application’s status. If you are applying in person ALWAYS hand your resume to the manager on shift. NEVER give it to an associate or any random worker. And if you have you resume on hand and walk in to apply and they tell you it’s online, ask for the manager and introduce yourself as professional as possible and hand them your resume and tell them that you will be submitting the application shortly and you just want them to put a face to the name when they see your application. And when you leave the venue, go to the nearest bench and fill out the application. Good luck bro, keep your head up… oh and most importantly: Pray on it. Only He can find you the perfect job for 🙏🏽

The job market in Toronto is non existent. Especially if your experience in multiple fields are all entry level employment. A majority of of jobs out their are Ghost Jobs.

It can be a daunting task looking for a job and completing the follow up steps with ko results.

Here and Indeed have the 1 tap apply feature. Upload your resume and literally hit apply on every job that interests you. Don't apply to 1 or 2 places and wait for a review/response before moving to the next. In the last 5 days I applied to 80-100 positions across 5 or 6 industries and had 2 interviews yesterday with 4 more scheduled today, along with any job offer from one of the places from yesterday. Stick with it. Over apply. Embellish your experience without outright lying. Apply to multiple job titles, if you're down to do them, as in search for customer service and apply to all of them, then search delivery driver and apply to every one you see, then search construction etc etc. Just don't give up and stay persistent.

Can I ask what you're looking for and where you're from?
