Honestly jack, I feel ya. Graduated my masters this year and I'm still at home just trying to freaking job search. I was hoping to gain work experience once I graduated by doing a few weeks unpaid in different companies but obvs that went out the window. So now I'm having to job search with no experience, during a pandemic . Fun times. But yeah my friends are already working and putting down deposits for houses with partners and I'm just like 🙃🙃🙃🤡

I've got a laptop with a touchscreen as well, and yeah, it's useful, but you better not break it, cause the cost of repair is PAINFUL to say the least. Another thing about adulthood - it hurts your soul whenever you need to spend any money. ;p

[@janani1826]

Im 17 and i currently disagree When i was younger it hurt me to spend cos i didn't have much to spend. Now i have a job and actually have an income im more willing to spend. I feel like adults would spend 20 quid on a top but to me that is huge uno

[@annagorniak]

@@janani1826 Well, I feel like when you're young you spend your parents' money, but when you actually have to work hard for it yourself you're not so keen on spending it. But hey,maybe it's just me and my avarice XD

[@KP_City_Life]

I’d definitely make an excel sheet with key dates and deadlines for applications. Also join group chats of other grads to find out what test providers are used during recruitment & then just join all the online events companies offer. I’m in the job journey (NCL Law finalist) - but have found this method^ to be super helpful :)

[@Nuenna90]

Great video as always! Jack, I really really feel for you. I graduated with a master’s degree in social sciences and humanities in 2019 and was unemployed (working part time as a crossfit coach to get by) for a bit over a year and omg I related so much to this whole vlog! It is so damn hard to go through it all! (got a job at Specsavers HQ in Denmark now, so quite funny, that you quoted them in this vlog). Looking back, I regret not taking more time off after graduating. I was completely burned out and then hit by the massive stress that is the jobhunt! The pandemic hit and that was the first time I was actually forced to take a break, which Ironically was a lifesaver for me! Anyway, the constant rejections are so demoralizing and pressure to be productive is extreme. I realized that I don’t think I am anyone unless I work, which is super concerning... You will get through this, and whoever hires you will be extremely lucky to have you! Appreciate all the honesty!

I feel you Jack, I have just graduated from uni without much work experience. Even though I have graduated with a first class degree, I am constantly rejected by the jobs that I have applied for and it is honestly so frustrating. My mental health is suffering from all these rejections, but I guess it is what it is, we are living in the midst of a pandemic, what more can we do. Let's just hope things will get better in the future.

[@FmaForge]

Hope ur doing ok in the job search! I know how you feel about your brain not being stimulated - I’m waiting for my job to start in November and this whole year i’ve just been working in retail and floating around in grey matter wondering when my life will begin loool. Also - in case u haven’t done it yet - I highly rec signing up to some graduate recruitment agencies! I got absolutely nowhere on job websites for months when i was a new graduate last year, but I managed to get interviews pretty quickly through a recruitment agency (though obviously everything is going to be a little harder this year). I believe in you! It’s a long slog but you’ll get there in the end 💙
