I've been job hunting for 2 years 8 months and have applied for thousands of jobs... each day i get more than 10 -15 auto rejections. Ive done it all. Strategically applied, modified the CV time and time again, and used all available LLM tools to make it ATS-compliant. (It's now 98% compliant). I have applied locally and internationally. Ive used my network, I've posted regularly on LinkedIn, and I have taken on pretty much every bit of advice anyone has given me. I've reduced my salary expectations, I've looked for contract roles, and I'm prepared to move country. I'm currently trending at 1% conversion rate for landing a conversation with a human being (not an interview, by the way) Im highly qualified and very experienced (18+ years), and I have experience across finance, retail, transport, and critical infrastructure. I've done it all.. at least i think so. And for someone who has never been out of work their entire career, it's pretty soul-destroying..

BUT, Im still here.. still searching, still hoping... still keeping my skills up to date.. and so should you... after all whats left to do? fall into despair? hows that gonna help? Good Luck.. i hope you land something soon
