How am I supposed to get a job in the current job market?
I have a wide range of skills, many of which are what employers are looking for, but because I don't have a university degree, or direct experience in certain roles, nobody will hire me.
I'm unable to get a degree for a variety of reasons, so I can't do anything about that. But I do have a few years of experience since I've done volunteer work where I did a lot of different things, which is why I have a wide skillset. But employers want you to have a year of experience directly in that field and don't seem to consider experience doing those tasks in a different field.
Does anyone have recommendations on what I should do? I'm feeling very frustrated since I need a job and I'm not even getting replies to my applications, nevermind interviews and it's not for a lack of sending them out.
Edit : and it's not even that I'm looking for a specific job. I've applied to dozens of different job types and positions in different industries where I think I have the ability to do the job. At this point, I'm considering walking around with a stack of CV's and handing them in at every business I come across.
