UK unemployment rate rises to 5.1% | How to keep momentum when job hunting

Описание: As the UK unemployment rate rises to 5.1%, job hunting can feel exhausting, discouraging, and deeply personal. In this video, I talk honestly about what it’s like navigating the UK job market right no, I've been there! The rejections, the uncertainty, and how easy it is to lose confidence when you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results. I may well be employed now but that doesn't subtract from the fact that I found it an incredibly difficult job market. When will this start being labelled as a crisis because these numbers clearly show that the job seekers are not at fault here!!

I wanted to share practical ways to keep momentum while job hunting, even when motivation is low: how to structure your days, protect your mental health, stay visible to employers, and avoid burnout during long periods of unemployment. This isn’t about toxic positivity, it’s about realistic strategies that help you stay grounded and proactive in a horrendously difficult market.

If you’re currently unemployed, facing rejection, or feeling stuck in your job search, this video is for you. You’re not failing - the system is challenging, and you’re allowed to acknowledge that while still moving forward.

We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation requiring all employers in the public sector to use blind recruitment at the initial application stage. This means removing names, dates of birth, schools, and other identifying details before shortlisting candidates.
