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.

Helping Jobseekers Build Community On LinkedIn | Coffee Enthusiast!

Please can you help? 

It takes 2 seconds to engage with this post. 

It can be hard to ask for help when you’re in this situation- so I’m asking on behalf of all jobseekers.

There’s an amazing community here.
We can pull this off together. 
I know we can.
Let’s do it! 

Jobseekers:

You might be 1 connection away from a job
opportunity that’s perfect.

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!

If you’re not a jobseeker, please interact with this post to help it to reach those who need it.

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.

Helping you perfectly position your leadership impact to accelerate your influence, earnings and authority within your zone of genius to create a career you love | Continuous Impact™ Career Strategy for high-achievers.

Are you a senior leader feeling stuck with too many targets,
too much work and too little time?

Are you constantly dealing with other people's priorities?

Do you feel under valued or invisible?

Are you tired of working hard without getting the pay or recognition you deserve?
-------

You're not alone.

Just over a decade ago, I was in the same place.

Working to exhaustion, 
constantly feeling behind.
with no time to reflect on what I wanted

Overworking was damaging my health, 
hurting my relationships
and holding back my earning potential 

 But it wasn't until I ... 

- missed out on two significant promotions.
- watched my coworkers get promoted over me whilst doing less work 
- Almost burnt out and ended up in hospital. 

That I realised I was trapped in the 'work harder' cycle.

- I was overworked
- underpaid and,
- unappreciated 

I was not working toward my purpose of becoming a good leader who was recognised and paid my worth.

Something HAD to CHANGE.

And that led me on a quest to identify what employers wanted and would reward...

And that is how to make an IMPACT.  

Fast forward to today…

My mission is to support high-performing leaders shift from' overworked' to 'impact-maker,' where their work is recognised, rewarded, and valued. Where, you can take back your time, work within your zone of genius, and perfectly position yourself as the go-to authority in your industry—without working harder!

If you're a busy leader who wants to create more impact in your career,
 
I'll show you:  

- How to discover your zone of genius, and do work you enjoy.
- Strategies to help you clarify your goals to build your leadership authority. 
- Techniques to help you identify and execute high-value work that aligns with organisational goals 
- How to develop stories of impact that amplifies your visibility and value and help you increase your earnings.

If you're ready to transform your leadership impact and take your career success to the next level.

DM me "LEADERSHIP", and let's chat.

I'm Selina, a Career Strategist and Executive leadership coach. I've spent over 20 years in corporate organisations, consistently delivering value within sales, marketing, and operations.
