Why has it become to hard to find a job in London ? I am an international student and I have been living here for almost 2 years, but I have not got an decent jobs for two years.

I have been applying online, making new connections on linkedin, new friends and when I ask them to refer me they say they dont have any vacancies at the moment.

I had to work in recycling on a running conveir belt where I had to pick up trash for a living. The smell and the constant fear of being crushed by machine.

You are an international student. Are you applying for jobs back home, too? This is happening everywhere, and many job seekers are losing their chance to a job because of immigration and work visas. For anyone looking, are you initiating cold calls using the business phone numbers-asking for hiring managers? Is your resume imitating the words the job description uses? Are you sharing too much information or unnecessary information? Are you participating in a job search program? Going to Temp Agencies? Volunteering helps build up a resume and network.

Hopefully the pay was worth the adverse conditions.

It was 12.21
