You sound like a much younger version of me. Your right about seek! I don't often find jobs that match my background and experience to have apply for jobs that I will be culled for. I usually only find between 4 and 7 jobs that fit my background. Read my post about recruitment agency's. Stop playing the Jobs Game! Break the rules and make a new Game! Not to make you more depressed but here is why its difficult to find a job on seek. 1. When a employer advertises on seek they have clear expectations about what they want. Any body that does not meet these expectations i.e. Work experience is automatically culled. 2. Seek makes it convenient to apply for jobs! Plus Seek advertisements are found on other job search engines. Think about it! Just how many people see one position advertised on seek. Typically 1 job vacancy will get between 100 and 300 job applications for the 1 job vacancy. Granted a lot of these people have issues with their resumes etc. So these are already culled. The rest of the applications are sorted, sometimes by a computer that lo oks for key words. This is why some bloggs say you need be be creative on your resume. Use key words that will get you interviewed. Like I said most jobs attract 100 job applicants or more this means you will have 1/ 100 chances of getting interviewed. This is why you should 1. Use your network, try to find about jobs that are not advertised 2.Approach employers directly! Even if they don't have a job vacancy ring them back every week until they get sick of you I hope some of this helps Jasper ....
