Hi guys,
So try to make a long story short, in 2019 my mum died, I lost my job and my fiance was cheating on me. I decided a kick up the arse will do me good. I went and did my access course, went to uni got a 1st on my bachelors, now doing my masters heading for another first, all this on top of fighting for my childs ehc plan and being diagnosed with autoimmune rheumatic disease. Now, I have spent the last 8 months applying for jobs. I got a 0 hour working 1 day a week at a college to tick me over. This has now ended, I now spend 3 to 4 hours applying for jobs, this is to go through the job spec and making sure each individual point is hit on target (it's becoming tedious). I am so fed up of not even getting a response or an interview. In the 8 months I had 1 interview but someone with a little more experience got the job. I'm devasted by it at this point. I hate the word experience because we all know you need the work to get it (my point). Anywho, I am really struggling with maintaining the momentum to keep applying. I really want a good job, I have worked hard to get where I am and succeeding academically and even worked for experience. But getting a real full time position is becoming more of a fantasy at this point. Anyone else in the same situation?
