What's everyone doing to take the edge off the job search?
Currently 6 months in with 105 applications sent off and only one interview. It's tough out here lads. Linkedin doom scrolling has become the new norm for me.
Hello, I am 26m canadian citizen and will graduate with a BSc in Computer Science around Apr 2027 and have around 20 months of IT Support coop experience. Is it feasible for me to job search from Canada and land an offer before moving to Ireland. I know housing situation is abysmal but can I realistically get by with 1000 euros per month sharing in not Dublin but other major cities.
I really want to move out of canada to eu and build a career there long term.
Also, any tips for job search process and sites (other than linkedin)? I know what I am aiming for is easier said than done but if i never try then I won't ever get to start my journey on stamp 1 and then citizenship.
just turned 22 i haven't been able to find a job in 8 months since i got let go of my last one. i was an apprentice technician in a main dealer which completely went tits up partially my fault ( i will admit) but not completely. the turnover rate for apprentices in that place is fucked my mentor at the time had seen 7 previous apprentices and none of them lasted more than 6 months. i was there a year and did nothing but services making this guy his bonus every month while i was being paid an apprentice wage while not even being registered. i was accused of forging a doctor cert and told to get a new on which i refused and called my hr manager a liar for accusing me of this which i admit was not smart i lost the head. 2 weeks later im gone.
anyways i've had interviews and been told i can start the next week just for no one to ring me. i've completed indeed at this rate applying for anything i can do that require a degree or prior experience.
i did a year of college decided its not for me then tried to get into the trade by doing a year pre mechanics course which eventually got me hired to my previous job. nowhere gets back to me anymore i have no money no savings living at home being a bum depressed out my mind just completely stuck in life. i am at a complete loss at this stage, i do not know what to do. all my friends have trades or in college and im completely left behind and its my fault yes but i have been searching for 8 months and cannot find anything.
just a vent i suppose. idk anymore
I applied a couple of weeks ago for a job, and got a screening call saying they will set up a call with the client's hiring manager. After a week of radio silence, I followed up with the recruiter, who told me they are still waiting.
Today I saw that the company posted for a similar (but apparently not the same) position.
My question is: should I apply to the new posting, given that I feel qualified for it, or should I wait for a call for the original position?
And if I apply, should I tell my recruiter? The company is pretty big and the recruiter for new postion might be another one.
Thanks in advance
