Yo, I'm from Indonesia. Graduated with a Law bachelor's degree in January. Been searching for a job, or even an internship for 8 months and still can't find it. It's lowkey the reason why I'm back in this forum after a few months.

I've just been curious, how's the job market in your area / job positions like these days?

Yeah, finding and getting hired for a job is hard. I honestly have no idea how normies are content with life when the job market as well as the job itself is so tough. It's so unfair that life requires so much effort just to survive. I honestly think that we should easily get a job if we did well in education but sadly education is essentially almost meaningless nowadays in terms of getting a career due to the increased competition

4 months in here, I keep getting pulled into bullshit bullshit, with must watch webinars and zoom calls where you're competing with 20 people for ONE position JUST in that moment. It may be hundreds in reality. I feel fucking hopeless. And since homelessness is now a crime….. At least I feel ready for jail huh?

Yeah, most entry level jobs now requires x years of job experience of the same position. So like wait a minute, that's not entry level then.

Yeah exactly man, i always see myself burried in the hundreds of applicants (a few of the are laid off experienced professionals) for one job positions. Anyway, jail doesn't seem that bad, you get free food at least.... XD jk, good luck man.

Yes definitely. I'm scared about not being able to find a part time job if I move for uni because I really need money to buy antiemetics and SN
