What it is hard to get a job 2024

I have been applying for job for 3 years now and this year June but i keep getting the unfortunately and rejection letters. I need money for Uni but i'm not sure what i'm going to do. Should i go to uni next year or??? It making me feel depressed and annoyed. I feel like failure because i'm 18 years old.

maybe try with a charity first to build ur profilo, then while doing it redo ur cv. u can also try walk-ins and talk to the manger about the job

Same problem! I have part time experience in retail and education, applied for over 100 jobs and had 0 interview offers, and barely any human responses to my applications. Unfortunately, I'm thinking that most things are automated and places interview very few people to speed up the process.

You are not a failure because of this. If you can, look for work through family friends. Check through your CV, you can probably put more on there than you think academically, put time into cover letters and reach for realistic roles. At this point, job hunting is a lottery, so good luck!
