Unemployable and can't get a job.

[Amiunemployable]

I can't get a job.

I currently work ten hours a week as a midday supervisor. Prior to this, at the same school I was a TA for a year.

I have recently graduated with a BA and will graduate in August with an MA.

Work history:

Customer service for six years at two different companies.

Then time out for raising kids and studying for the BA. This was 2020 - 2024. I then started at the school early 2024.

I can't stay in my current role, it's not enough hours and we're sinking financially.

I have been applying for jobs since February. Customer service/admin type roles. Full time. Both remote and onsite jobs. I've applied for almost 40 jobs and not heard back from a single one.

I had also considered applying for TA roles at other schools, still not quite enough financially but better than what I'm on now but the problem is that I had several months off sick in current role (TA/midday) and I'm concerned that it would prevent me getting another TA role as would come up on a reference from current job.

I just don't know what to do.

I feel unemployable.

If you aren’t getting to interview then there’s something wrong with your CV/Applications. You need to tailor them to the advert and if you have used AI to help write the content then you need to personalise it heavily. So many are coming through with the same sentences, structure, language and tone that it’s really obvious who has just got chatGPT to write it.

Bluntly.
40 job applications for customer service etc are rookie numbers.

You are not unemployable. The queation might come up serious after few hundred.... So just keep going. Something will come

I dd loads of work for Office Angels years ago, a constant steady stream. Went back to a branch after a very long break from them and got zilch, never heard a word back.

OP are there any Unis or hospitals where you can join their bank staff? I’d give that a go if they’re taking people on.
