I have a degree in marketing I used to live and work abroad but returned home during Covid because I lost my job and now I’m struggling to find work in Scotland my home country ever since they job market is so bad here

Navigating a tough job market can be challenging, but here's a strategy that could help. First, refine your resume to highlight your international experience and unique skills. Consider expanding your search to remote positions, which can be more flexible and abundant. Networking is crucial; connect with former colleagues or attend industry-related events in Scotland. Upskill through online courses in digital marketing or data analytics to increase your competitiveness. Lastly, consider temporary or freelance work to gain local experience and bridge the employment gap. Stay persistent and open to various opportunities.

I interviewed with a company last year and got to the second interviews but they emailed and said they didn’t want someone new to start because the supervisor broke her leg right before the Christmas period and they said they would try again in January. I just don’t know what’s going on the guy said they were still finding out when the supervisor will return

Get a job in something unrelated in the mean time.

Well last November I interviewed really well and they liked me but before Christmas they said the supervisor broke her leg and they aren’t sure of the time scale when she will return. So not sure what’s going on there
