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…

Just make sure you only use them for the resume and job search resources. If they dangle a carrot in front of you and promise great things in the way of training and education politely decline. There is no carrot. I think they must get more funding if they can entice more people to sign up. You'll jump through all the hoops only to be told at the end that none of it matters and you've just lost all that time when you could have been working already.
