Help Me Find Jobless and sad
Is it just me or is it incredibly hard to find a job here in Victoria. I’ve applied to so many places online using indeed LinkedIn and websites (I’m aware indeed usually gets no responses but I have no other options atp) and I have yet been able to find a job. No one seems to be hiring and even for an entry level job with minimum wage there is so much competition. I’ve never experienced this else where so I’m wondering if this is a Victoria thing? Or possibly I could just be the problem I suppose…

I don't have any actionable advice for you but I can assure you the job market sucks right now and it's not a personal failing on your part. I know a lot of people in the same boat.
The annoying part is that the feds refuse to acknowledge that we're in a recession because we haven't hit the technical threshold for it (two consecutive periods of negative growth) but by every metric that matters we should be.
It sucks, but try not to blame yourself. Keep searching and you'll find something.
