I posted asking for advice on where I am going wrong in applying in the UK, and the consensus seems to be essentially 'you're not by the sound of it, it's just the UK job market is bad, consider moving'.

And honestly, I'm happy to move if I would feel more valued/needed in the market elsewhere.

Question 1:

So physios of Canada, Australia, New Zealand - please kindly advise me - what are my realistic prospects as a new UK grad with absolutely no experience working (asides from student placements) in your country?

And

Question 2:

And if anyone has moved as a UK new grad - what is your personal experience where you moved (general for the country you moved) - work opportunities (opportunity for career growth/development), cost of living and disposable income, ease to actually get the first job, work-life balance.

(I am researching, but personal experiences can be so helpful Vs simply numbers and data!)

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated! ☺️

I pour my soul into applications and really take my time (like all day applying), I show why I meet the spec, I check my application with people to make sure it reads well, I say what makes me stand out. When I get rejected, I ask for advice, apparently my application is great but there was 'just so many applicants'.

How do I get out of this application hell? Seriously getting depressed about all the soul, care, time, commitment to extra CPD and

Nothing. I'm struggling with the endless applying and waiting for someone to see potential in me. I tried for lower band/different jobs but I think I must be 'overqualified'.

What am I not doing? Any advice? :'(

(Grades and experience amazing, really trying everything here but zero luck)

Does anyone have any advice for promoting yourself to employers and up-keeping skills whilst unemployed? I'm feeling not super optimistic with the lack of band 5 roles. Getting rejected from rehab assistant roles too despite meeting requirements. Rejected from other roles outside physio and healthcare (potentially due to being considered 'overqualified'?).
