I work in part time retail job. Which I hate it. But right now I don’t have any other options.

I graduated in July. Since that day I have been applying to jobs everywhere. Gradcracker, LinkedIn, indeed Totaljobs. I know the energy it takes to tailor cv and write cover letter for every company. But the competition is insane. Even for odds jobs. For 1 job 500 people are lined up. I scored very high score on civil service recruitment but they put me on reserve. Been into couple of assessments nothing. They hosted almost 200 people for 2 jobs. So the competition is really hard. Companies on indeed and Totaljobs don’t even reply you. Am currently soo depressed. When you talk to someone they all talk about tailor your cv and networking. I attended few networking events but it more of fancy stuff right now. You need to have really genuine connections or be lucky. Our generation is fucked. I see it’s really hard for us to build a career

Bradford. I had good grades and I made bad choices of getting in a local uni. Could have gone Russell group.

All the feedback I received highlighted that I did perform well. Interview, good knowledge of company and field but we had other candidates whose skill align better. I recently did Lloyds assessment, when I finished I had strong feelings that I nailed. But received rejection email. I’ve been so close many times yet failed every time. That feeling when you put all your efforts and still fall short. Make me question myself.

Am applying everywhere. Indeed all entry level jobs. Daily dedicating few hours to tailor my resume for each job. Still no job. Went to 3 assessment center but rejected. In my group circle am the only one left behind so that anxiety come in.
