No one wants to hire me!

I would suggest tailoring your CVs to be relevant to the jobs that you're applying for. When I was looking for work I had about four to five slightly different CVs depending on the role. If you're applying on line through a recruiter job ad, look at the job spec and use the words that they have on it to put in your CV; as they will probably skim through thousands of CV and pick out the ones with the skills/qualifications that they're looking for. I'd also suggest writing your CV in the third person and always past tense. These are just the things that worked for me in the past.

Also, ask family and friends if there's anything going where they work, get them to ask their family and friends too.

Something about beggars and choosers...

I don't like to say it, but if you are turning down jobs on grounds of principle, I don't think you want a job enough. Getting an admin job in the Army could give you vital experience.

If we were in 1940's Germany, and the OP was unemployed your advice would have been ''Beggars can't be choosers, get a job in the SS''.

'Beggars' do not have to lower their moral standards and as much as they want employment, they have every right to choose not to work for an organisation whose prime purpose is to destroy human life whether that organisation is seen by it's government to be necessary or by the majority of it's people to be necessary. And it doesn't matter whether that organisation's motives stem from good or evil - if you disagree with killing human beings the motive for doing it is irrelevant.

Edit: Our own government agrees with this on some level because they do not force JSA/UC claimants to work in the Armed forces, they force them into Poundland and Tesco.

really?

No. Definitely not. I used to work solely in Recruitment/now work in HR/Recruitment and we used to laugh so much at the people who wrote their CVs in third person. Unless private sector Recruitment is different, I've only ever worked in the NHS.

Then again someone once wrote a poem as their application for a job I was recruiting for, so it can be worse...

Haha, I've heard of a CV done as a mind map. In general avoid clichés as well.

Someone once wrote about a 'traumatic incident' they had experienced and 'handled' when applying for a Paramedic role...the traumatic incident was her best friend broke her nail and was very upset. I wish I was joking. Recruitment is brilliant.

Was it an insta rejection?
