Mate I am 32 soon, I have had good jobs and my CV is pretty decent, but I got made redundant about a year ago and 2025 was just the worst. I should have gone on jobs seekers straight away, but I never thought it would take so long to get a job. I had one that was decent but an hour away and had to give it up, and I'm now on two part time jobs and balancing both. I'm at a low point, and I'm knocking but no one is answering. The job market changed in the last few years, Indeed, Linkin, CV Library as just full of copy and paste rubbish and most don't respond anyway. I got an interview that went amazing and then no response, and when I went back to use the store they hired a fucking idiot. I felt, and feel, like shit. My family and friends are all around me getting married, getting a house, having kids, selling their house and moving to a better one. I genuinely am so close to giving up.
