😵 I’ve made over 50 job applications but still no luck – what am I doing wrong?

Sorry to hear you’re struggling to find a job. The truth is, we’re living in a very difficult time and a lot of people are in the same position.

Let’s take a quick look at the math… 

The number of vacancies in Q2 dropped by 62.7% in comparison to 2019. The same research is also showing that the number of applications per vacancy has risen by 106% 😱

It’s quite clear that the UK job market is fierce right now and it’s likely to get even fiercer once the furlough scheme ends in October.

What this means is, you’re simply going to have to up your game with your job applications.
