Jobs in Manchester

Is anybody else really struggling to get a job in Manchester at the moment? I’ve just finished my 2nd year of uni and I’ve worked in fast food for 4 years so I don’t have the most varied range of experience, but I have applied for absolutely everything; fast food, restaurants, bar work, retail etc. and I’m not getting anything back from anywhere. I’ve applied for things in the Centre, surrounding areas like Rusholme, Levenshulme, Chorlton, Ancoats, and Fallowfield; even applied for a few in Stockport. I have quite a good CV and I tailor my cover letters for each individual job role in different sectors, but I’m just being hit with either rejection messages or radio silence. Is there a job shortage or something at the minute? Is anyone else having the same problem?

Hi mills59, I think problem not with the job or with you, problem with mindset. Everybody trying to earn some cash today, and tomorow they do the same. And if tomorow they stops working, money stops too. Its a program. Till 29 age I strugled like you now, and finaly I found a person who helped me, he explined a rutine of all workers.
