Lack of jobs at moment

All the jobs i see advertised are for people qualifications in so and so, so based on this is this the right time to look for another job or should i wait till next year for a new job to go to

    i currently am but all im finding advertised is jobs for people who have years of experience and/or qualifications in certain areas or cleaning jobs or caring jobs and none of which i want to do
  • In my area there are a few call centre and admin posts looking to get new teams started in January but doing their interviews now so it's worth keeping a look out for things like that. Sign up to job alerts that match your criteria then the jobs that suit will be emailed to you and you won't have to trawl through so many unsuitable ones.

    There's been a lack for quite a while now - I just keep trying - all you can do - all the best in your search.

    The job market dies down at this time of year but it pays to keep your eye on the ball. Don't forget that next year there will be a lot more job seekers looking for work due to local authority and funding cuts.
    Are you actually unemployed? If so, I would recommend not being too choosy, sorry. It will be easier to find a more suitable job from a position of employment.
    Been there
    Done that
    Got the T shirt
