I'm nearly 23, but also graduated in 2023. its really hard out here getting a grad job. And the competition is crazy. You;re not alone in feeling meh about it x
are you working now or job hunting only? x
I'm 24, graduated in 2023 and still haven't got a job. Was given a job offer in December but it needed a security vetting and was withdrawn because a year studying abroad was a problem for the vetting. Keep getting rejected from all graduate schemes and grad jobs. really depressing.

Things will work out. Have you had any temp jobs since? Also that really sucks they should've made you aware of that beforehand, but at least you know now you're capable of getting a job offer.
I also keep getting rejected for grad schemes, it's disheartening, but keep going, and something will come.
What did you study at uni?
