Why can't I get a job in the UK, despite having the work ex and the certs?

Question

I am a graduate with 6.5 years of work experience in Training. I also have a Diploma in Training & Teaching from City & Guild, which I was given to believe was a decent UK brand... I've been looking for a job in Training for a year now and most organisations won't tell me why they won't hire me.... In fact the only organisation that agreed to hire me was a retail store as their Checkouts operators. They refused to give me a Training role either, again no reason stated... Can someone help me out here, cuz I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Answer 1

Why don't you just ASK the HR person at your next interview if they can tell you what is wrong... just don't expect to be hired by that company... but you MAY get an answer that you can work with.

Answer 2

I don't think many people in the IMMIGRATION SECTION will know what is wrong either.

Why don't you speak to a professional and get your resume re-written. There are some great services out there who can really make a person look good.

Perhaps speak to recruitment agencies see if they will hire you or have some jobs more appropriate for you.

Have a look at where your applying? Are these internet jobs on popular websites that have about 50 people applying for the one position? You should try to apply for as many roles as you can via different ways (eg ones advertised on notice boards, internet, newspapers even talk to friends and see if they know what is available).
