I’m a few years into a job that has been terrible from the start. I’m so overworked I have no energy to spend outside of work looking for another job. I don’t have the luxury or privilege to be able to just quit without anything else lined up. Any tips for trying to find something else? How are others surviving this? I’ve applied here n there over the past few years but haven’t managed to get an offer. I know I need to apply every week- I just don’t have the energy as my work is so toxic.

Something that no one is talking about is how salaries are going down while the cost of living keeps increasing. There is no match between the pay we get and the cost of living. Consultancies are getting greedier and are keeping more than 60% margin. There is no regulation or control on the exploitation of employees. The government is doing nothing to help its citizens. One salary for a household is not enough to cover the basic necessities

I’m sharing this as a job seeker. We look for work because we need income, yet some platforms require payment before we can even continue. It feels unfair and discouraging. Help should be accessible, not something we have to buy first. We hope for real opportunities, not added expenses. Support job seekers with fairness, transparency, and genuine help not extra costs.

I’ve been finding a lot of jobs lately that are actually 2 or 3 different jobs crammed into one so the business only has to pay one salary for the work of multiple people. And they know people will apply because people need a job. Those employees will end up burnt out, unhappy & wanting to leave. Why do businesses not treat or pay their employees appropriately to keep people around long term?! It’s baffling!

I’m a 21 year old male who has very mild autism. I would say socially I’m not always the best but am always willing to help customers. I work at Coles doing various things and the last 6-7 months has been mainly working by myself which I do like but the work itself is a massive overload. I just don’t know what to do and what else I’d even be interested in. I don’t fully believe in myself due to having autism and it makes me feel down sometimes.

Is it just me, or is finding a job that even sits you done for an interview really difficult at the moment? I’ve applied for over 40 jobs in the last 2 weeks, and not a single one has even looked at my application??? I’m not necessarily under qualified either.

as a teenager in australia it is so hard to find a job:,) we’re constantly getting ignored even by the people who say they are “constantly hiring” even the ones that say no experience needed. ive been applying to jobs left and right and im not getting a single response back. they say teenagers need to get a job from now to provide them in the future, im 17 and i am honestly so eager for a job but theres no luck. does anyone have any advice?

I'm trying to start my career I'm doing something I'm passionate about but I'm getting really disheartened because I don't think anyone wants me and I want to show everybody that I'm worth something I have lots of clearances and more I would like a job where I can help people and if you think I would be suitable I wouldn't mind talking to someone about this helping me get into position where I can help people
