I'm 33 and my job history is mainly customer service.
In the last 11 years my mum had cancer and has passed away in September.
I kept taking breaks in my employment to look after her.
My last job was 2016
I applied for a call centre and got offered the job.
Told them my previous history but couldn't remember exact dates.
They did a Experian employment check and refused the offer.
Saying there were too many gaps in my employment.
I feel really really low.
In a ideal world my mum wouldn't have been ill and I wouldn't have had to keep leaving jobs.
Will I ever get a job again ?

I also meant to say it is a numbers game.

If this were a professional mid-to-senior level job in a small industry, you would probably want to be more strategic about who you send your CV to. If this were a more junior or mass market position, then fire away.

You could be waiting a week to hear about jobs, so keep in looking and applying.
