Finding a job

It’s honestly shocking how rough the job market in NZ has gotten. People are getting sacked left, right, and centre, and finding a decent job feels almost impossible. Makes you wonder- is the system stacked against regular people while big businesses keep getting away with it? Everyone’s struggling with joblessness, and it feels like no one’s actually doing anything to fix it.

I’m so stressed. I had a really good job but they ended my employment at the end of my 90 day trial even though I was meeting all expectations etx and was doing well. I have no job, no income. I’m young, I have a degree I can’t use. I had an interview which I’m waiting to hear back from but so many applications I don’t even hear from

How long does it take to pass internal sign off when all your background and reference checks are cleared is there a chance where the offer can be withdrawn

I’ve been applying for about 9 months and been out of work for 6 months, i’ve had ONE interview in that whole time of applying. I have been working since I was 15 and I have just recently turned 19 but every time I apply somewhere I get the “We won’t be proceeding with your application”. I have a lot of work experience and even applying back in hospitality I have no luck and I worked in hospitality for 2 and a half years! what do I have to do to at least get more interviews ?!

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed... job hunting in NZ is impossible! So far, I’ve only managed to do one short-term labouring contract. Honestly, it feels like there are hardly any jobs out there. Is there any advice on how to get a permanent job?

Is anyone actually finding jobs in New Zealand right now? I've been job hunting since February - NEARLY SIX MONTHS!! - I'm SO discouraged. I'm perfect for some of the jobs i'm applying for and there's just radio silence most of the time. I'm in project management - does anyone have any hot tips? It shouldn't be this hard!
