I am very discouraged and tired. The UK job market is absolutely appalling at the moment. I have been looking for a job for the past year and I have had a total of 4 interviews (maybe). Every once in a while I get a rejection email, but that's it. I checked my LinkedIn stats today and I have applied to 98 jobs on that app only, in addition to Indeed and other job boards. It's hard not to believe that there's something wrong/unsuitable with me, at this point. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thank you, I'll look into it!

Have you had a trusted friend/mentor review your resume?

I tried, unfortunately the person who offered to review my CV and I fell out and it never amounted to anything! I've only ever found people who would do it for a fee, and I can't afford it.
