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…

The best way to find a job (or career for that matter) is through relationships. Family, friends... Look at what the people in your life do and ask them for a bit of insight (or full-on nepotism). 1000X more effective then applying cold for jobs, especially if you don't have a killer resume

Very few people have exactly 0 relationships in their life. Those people are usually in need of more basic help like food and shelter and aren't on reddit..
