Hello to whomever reads this.
I gave up work over a year ago to help look after my partners 4 kids while they became accustomed to him being away from home when he got a job where he’s away 15 hours a day 5 days a week.
I previously worked in hospitality for 6 years and I’m really over it, and I’m wanting to get into something else, like customer services, retail, admin or something like that.
Apparently its a huge probem trying to get into another industry even though hospitality gives experience in a whole bunch of stuff relevant to other industries. Mainly, Customer Services. But it seems to be impossible for me to get a job. I’ve applied for at least 1 or 2 jobs every week since a few months after my partner started his new job.
I’ve changed how I set out my CV, and how I’ve written my cover letters several times and nothing works. Out of the dozens of jobs I’ve applied for I’ve had ONE interview!
I’m polite, friendly, helpful, hard working, dedicated… I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
I guess it’s true when they say that it’s easier to get a job when you already have a job.
Caio
