I've been struggling to land a job this year, having submitted nearly 1000 applications without a single interview, particularly for office roles. My background includes a few temporary positions in warehousing, with only one brief stint in an office environment. I've tailored my CV and cover letters for each application, focusing on entry-level roles with low pay, so I don't think it's a lack of experience that's holding me back. I've even taken my CV to some offices in person, but I've had no success. I'm open to any industry and realistic about my qualifications, avoiding places like law firms where I lack relevant experience. I’m starting to wonder if my resume is the issue. I’ve received feedback suggesting it’s cluttered and doesn’t highlight my organizational skills effectively. Some comments pointed out that it lacks quantifiable achievements and that I should focus on making it stand out more. I’ve been advised to trim irrelevant experiences and to seek help from career services to improve my resume. I’m feeling a bit lost and would appreciate any advice on how to break into administrative work in today’s job market.
