Have you ever faced unemployment or long term unemployment before?

[Scoobes]

I did for about 6 months after my PhD. Way overqualified for odd jobs unless it was a favour for family and it took a while to find something relevant.

I don't know what your field is but if you can't find anything at the moment then have you thought about self-employment or even a side hustle whilst you're looking? Even doing something that's not getting you paid but keeping your skills fresh (GitHub, blog, artist portfolio, writing etc.). Anything that you can then pop on your CV to show an extra level of passion for the subject matter and that employers can look at to help you stick out. More importantly, it keeps your mind busy on things other than your job search which keeps you sane.

Don't forget about Grad fairs and get your name out there as much as possible via networking. Remember that nearly all job roles now touch LinkedIn so make sure your profile looks good and that you've put plenty of keywords so your name will come up when recruiters search for you. If you find a good recruitment agent then they can also help with interview prep.

Also, Coursera and Udemy have plenty of extra courses to add extra value to your CV.

Good luck and don't forget that nearly everyone tends to have a patch like this, especially after completing education.
