I don't know if I'll post this but I thought I'd share my thoughts on job hunting in 2026.
Where to start? well job hunting in 2026 is poop! I've had jobs in the past which were unfortunately all temporary roles and my last paid job was 2024 which was a 2 week paid work experience thing. I've been trying to get a paid job for a LONG time now and it's been very frustrating, disheartening, tedious and I have no clue what to do anymore. Trying to find a job is a viscous circle because you need experience but can't get any experience so how the hell are we meant to find a job? all these companies who advertise this are stupid! I can work I just need a chance that's all I want a chance to get a paid job. I wish I could come off UC even though I need money but I hate being on it, it's been too long now.
I've taken a break from my weekly job club and my other employment help because it's all too much and overwhelming now I really have had enough. I know I am not alone in this so if you're reading this and can relate then I know what you're going through. We're in 2026 and the UK unemployment rate is so high it's ridiculous! it shouldn't be this way at all but it is and it isn't fair to people like me and you who want to work! if you're from somewhere else what's the unemployment rate where you are?
I have been going to the place of doom aka the jobcentre for so long now it's disheartening because I wish I'd never signed on even though I need money it's caused nothing but problem after problem. They never helped me, I was always picked on and it was just awful. I've had a lot of work coaches some nicer than others but really I'd rather see no one and not have to go at all.
I am keeping busy with various things but sometimes even they get tedious but at least I am doing something and still trying my absolute best! even if there's times I want to give up because I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I didn't think it would be this difficult to get a job but it is and in all honestly I don't think it'll get better which isn't what anyone wants to hear but here we are.
I think that's it for this post.
Thank you for reading.
