On A Mission To Help Jobseekers By Networking.

Julia Mc

I’ve been applying to jobs for 5+ years.

It’s so disheartening and has left me doubting myself more times than I’d like to admit.

I know I’m not the only one in this situation. 

I’ve tried so hard and have had no success.

It’s time to change things up. 

I’m working on ideas for my own online creative business, which I’m really excited (and SO nervous!) about, but I’m still hoping to find a WFH role alongside - as I know success doesn’t happen overnight.

So I’m reaching out, with a polite ask to my network: If anyone knows any legitimate, creative small company or similar that could use some part time (paid) remote help (admin, organisation, creative support, social media, content creation help etc.) 

I’d love the chance to be considered.

Thank you so much for reading and for any shares, connections or kindness you can offer.

NB: MUST be a legitimate business, I’ll be doing my research!! I have to say this on here just to be clear - If it seems like a scam I will not be moving forward with it. Thank you.

I’m inviting you to join these posts in an attempt to try and help as many jobseekers as possible, find and be accepted for employment by the end of 2025.

But I can’t achieve this alone!

You’ve been hired after unemployment! 

First of all, congratulations. 

I sincerely hope you’ll be happy in your new role. 

But please don’t feel guilty. 

You deserve to be happy just as much as those in the middle of their job hunt. 

You feel bad because there’s many who have been jobless for far longer.

This shows you have empathy, kindness and compassion: qualities of an amazing employee. 

I’d love to hear how your first week goes! 

(This post is a reply to a DM I received.)

How it feels to be a job seeker: 2k+ job applications later… 


I know I’m not the only one, but the truth is, as a job seeker of 5+ years I’m exhausted from spending hours upon hours: 

• filling in applications-never hearing back. 

• looking for jobs to apply to-only to be rejected.

• getting hopes up when interviewed-to be told 2 weeks later by email they hired someone else. 

It honestly seems like no matter what I do, this job market is against me. 

I’ve spent a long time over the past 5 years applying for all sorts of jobs but since some months ago my perspective changed: I will now only apply for or reach out to the companies I’d actually like or love to work for. 

You may think I’m being too picky, but applying for 1000s of roles (many of which I probably would have been unhappy in after a while) hasn’t helped either. 

And if you think I should “just take any job” have you tried getting ‘any’ job these days? 

This is not your average job market. 

It’s literally like trying to cross a chocolate bridge in a heatwave - because I never seem to make it to the other side (opposite) of unemployed anymore. 

I’ve tried so hard over the past 5+ years. Now I’m reaching a point where I’m really, really worried. 

I cannot go on having £0 coming in. 

I’ve been searching for a WFH part or full time position, in which I am treated with respect. 

The only one I’ve been offered so far, (this was in 2022) is one that had pages of reviews online about how badly staff are bullied. (So I said thanks, but no thanks and explained why.) 

I was bullied in primary school, secondary school, college and some (not all, luckily) jobs I’ve had so far. 

I don’t care what the “take any job” crowd say: I know I deserve better than that. 

I’ve been politely reaching out to places I would like to work with and they’ve been so kind in their replies, but I’m still in this situation currently.

I understand not everywhere can just take on new people if there are no positions open but I don’t know what to do anymore and am really worried about everything.

I was trying to have a job in place alongside starting my own online business but it’s looking like that won’t be possible… 

Who rekons I should start my own thing anyway? 

I rarely post here asking for help for myself, usually I’m posting to try and help others, but I can’t carry on being in this predicament.

If you know of any WFH part or full time admin/ creative jobs please let me know. 

PS: If you’d consider sharing this post I’d be most grateful. Thank you for all your support.

PPS: I’ll be back soon with my networking posts that aim to help other job seekers.

#Unemployed #LookingForWork #HireMe

1,903 days ago: I was made redundant from my full time job of 3+ years, due to the pandemic.

Since then I’ve:

- sent 2k+ applications.
- completed interviews for about 5%.
- been ignored or rejected from about 95%.

I literally don’t know what to do anymore. 

I spent agges looking at job websites again earlier and applying - for roles I’m extremely unlikely to actually get. 

I’m looking for an admin or creative wfh position that I’d be able to do alongside starting my own online business. 

Thank you for reading and please consider reposting.

If you’re struggling, this post is for you. 

I invite you to share your story below, if you wish. 

The DESPERATE posts here make me feel 💔.

I mean posts like: 

“I’m about to lose everything.”
“In 5 hours I’ll be homeless.”
“I haven’t eaten a proper meal in 3 days.”

These are REAL posts, written by real people. 

This cannot carry on. 

Far too many are being forced to:

- start a gofundme.
- become homeless.
- use food banks. 

And it’s not their fault…

They’ve been applying. 

They did everything they were expected to do. 

School, then college, maybe uni, and got a ‘safe’ job… 

Then POOF. 

Job disappeared. 

Sometimes overnight. 

Maybe without any warning…

Now, they have no choice but to post and hope that someone can help them. 

They’re down on their luck. 

No income after layoffs, redundancy, or they lost their job because of ‘company restructuring.’

Right now, so many are struggling. 

If you see a post from someone asking for help, obviously use common sense and be wary of scams but also, please understand that behind many of these posts, are real people…trying to make ends meet again. 

Not every post asking for help is a scam. 

Please don’t judge people. 

There might come a day when you need to ask for help too. 

This job market is insane. 

Let’s help each other as much as we can. 

If you’re going through a tough time after being made redundant or laid-off, I invite you to share your story below with my network of 18k+ followers, maybe someone here can help you. 

As always please beware of scams and do your research before applying to any opportunities or offering assistance etc. (I wish I didn’t have to write this part, but I do.) 

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. 

This community is here to (try and) help.

Hi, I am Katie, having had a successful senior leadership career globally in HR, Learning and Inclusion, I now focus on developing and educating more inclusive leaders to drive effective and equitable workplace cultures and clear out the toxic behaviours crippling business today.
​I have seen first-hand the impact that poor leadership and Executive leadership can have on a business and its people.

Having been a victim, as so many are today to career toxicity, it’s my mission to also help women to re-find their career confidence, identity, brand and passion to step up for success whatever that looks like for them.

My career brief: I'm a transformational and culturally aware Business leader with over 20 years of international experience supporting organisational, digital and cultural transformations across Technology and Service Organisations.
Having led large teams across APAC, EMEA, LATAM, INDIA and the USA across Learning, Organisational development, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, I have along with my teams successfully implemented a vast array of modern learning experiences, learning technology innovation, role based skills development and defined great leadership capability and Inclusion programs. I have sat on HR leadership teams, and partnered and coached Board members.

I know how to run a business and built ground-up Learning universities, departments and Diversity, Equity and inclusion as well as running and achieving multi-million revenue and budgets.

I am a MIT Leadership facilitator educating and supporting business leaders across Industry.

I am available for consulting, strategy development projects, facilitation, and part-time roles (up to 3 days a week) in the space of Learning, Leadership and Inclusion.
I have developed two key education and coaching programs for New Managers and Leaders which are available for organisations to insert into their development, onboarding and succession programs!

I also work 1-1 with women and focusing on their career from various perspectives.

Let’s have a chat to see if there is a match - I'm very versatile
