Thank you for writing in

Consider this as a phase and utilize the time in building your skills. Few suggestions to help you navigate-

Tailor your cv as per the jobs. One Cv may not suit all the jobs that you are applying. In short customize the cv for every job you are applying and highlight the skills as per the job specs.

Network with professionals- reach out to people on linkedin and otherwise in the industry. Do constant and regular periodical reminders.

Try different mediums of job search- for example- Recruitment agencies, referrals, online portals, Direct company, Hr's etc

Consider jobs as intern/ part time/ temporary- (even if it is short term) - this will help you learn and build an experience.

Reset your expectations- Check if your expectations are realistic and can be met. Alter if needed.
Most importantly remain motivated, positive, calm and have patience. Continue with the efforts.

Remember, at times it can be challenging to get the right job so have patience as the market can get competitive to meet your expectations.

Hope this helps. All the best

To your success. Be You. Be Confident
