It’s brutal out there and the “hundreds of applications, no replies” thing is so real. One small thing that helped me stay sane during long job hunts was treating it like a simple workflow instead of chaos: set a weekly target (like 10–15 solid applications), track follow-ups, and don’t waste time on listi...Mon, 09 Mar 2026 08:52:15 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=866566https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=866566Really needed this reminder.

I dunno if I want to go back to school for a little and get a certification for maybe a dental assistant. I dunno if I want to work a job I already had that pays good or do something completely different. I don't want to go back to school for a long time or pay out of pocket alot of money for my studies either like.

It had videos and hands-on practice examples, which made stuff like wiring and diagnostics way less confusing.

The job market has definitely shifted, and persistence is key. Along with staying consistent, it also helps to use resources that gather career advice, job centre info, and listings in one place. Platforms like Indeed UK can make the search feel more manageable and keep you motivated while applying.Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:32:03 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=750082https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=750082im coming to you from the start of the american recession to encourage you! don't give up! don't be afraid to ask for help either!! it's ok if you've been looking for over 3 months, 6 months, a year, a year and a half. you know you've been applying every day, making it to every interview, setting up your resume, you're doing all you can! don't be afraid to try out new things! don't waste your time...Mon, 19 May 2025 13:30:18 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=732134https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=732134just two semesters left until I graduate and I promised myself that after our research or in the last semester, I would try to find a decent job cause I hate being stuck in the house after I graduate.. hopefully, I can do that :'))))))Sun, 06 Apr 2025 14:31:47 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=686670https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=686670I'm about to graduate and I'm just applying for a ton of positions in the meantime to get ahead of the curve.
