Each Friday and Monday we publish the problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Guardian Money supplement so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I have been looking for work for two months, applying for approximately two jobs each week. I hold an undergraduate degree from Oxbridge and a master's from a Russell group university. I have worked since I was 16, most recently for two years in the third sector, with a year's experience in communications and research. I have two unpaid internships under my belt and have produced and directed two profit-making dramatic productions.
I am applying for roles in media, communications and research, only where I am sure I meet the criteria. Every application I submit includes a specifically tailored CV and cover letter or application form. I make sure I use language from the job descriptions and highlight concrete successes to demonstrate my abilities and experience – but I've yet to be offered an interview.
In my entire career I have always been offered the job if I've interviewed, but I just don't seem to be able to get there now, despite following all the advice I can find. What am I doing wrong? What else should I be doing to get invited to interview?
