Is the job market really this difficult at the moment?

[beachstarfish]

I am on the look out for a new job. Have been looking for two whole months now. Had about 3 interviews maybe and all were pretty meh. Is the job market really that bad? I feel I always hear people say this... I am struggling to keep a high morale. Feeling really low at times. It's so deflating to my ego. Really need some thick skin for this game!

Yes, it’s horrific.

Depends what in? Crying out for probation staff.

Yes unemployment and job losses are up and vacancies are down in the UK. Last few months had quite sharp changes- worse than previously predicted.
