    Not too brag, but I walked out of uni with a nursing degree, went through one application and interview process, and have been in secure, full-time employment ever since.

    COVID was a bit shit, but it turns out that was a temporary low point.

      I never wrote an application. I was basically hunted down by employers, and only one job interview did not work out - because the employer die not turn up. I’m now in my 30th year in my current employment.

      I’ve gotten callbacks within 12 hours for applications I didn’t even finish and submit. It’s hard work but there’ll never be too little of it.
