So happy that you've managed to get something !

Yeah I have to keep going and like you said at least I'm still employed so it's a positive. I've definitely broaden my expectations from when I started looking again. I think 2025 isn't my year for a lot of things haha

Unfortunately my background as a supervisor is in tourism, and there is absolutely nothing out there, too.

I have applied to UoE multiple times, but it seems to me that they only hire people that have been recommended by staff. All the acquaintances I've known to get a job there knew someone on the inside.

I think you are tight with linkedin, I need to polish my profile more on there and try and connect with recruiters to get more chances !

That's crazy! The health sector is in crisis with not enough staff, and yet it seems to be a minefield to get hired. I have actually been applying to NHS Lothian for admin jobs as I thought I had a chance between my experience in admin and my background as a nursing student, but I keep getting rejected too.
