Recruitment issue

I've made so many applications for work yet despite being skilled and their stating guaranteed interviews..It isn't happening. Rejection is the only constant. Any advice welcome 🙃🤔

If you're over 16 and live in either England or Wales, you might want to take a look at Scope's Support to Work service. They're a great team, and they can support you in applying for jobs.
What kind of jobs are you looking for, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you for your reply. I really don't know what I would be able to do as I've been out of work since January 2020. I had an accident in February 2019. I think I could work as a Cashier. I have decades of retail experience but am unable to bend, reach up or stand for a period I am unable to kneel either. I have been applying for retail in hope of a Cashier job. I also have some experience in reception work.🙂 so nothing from that sector either.

Have you been in contact with the jo centre as they often have disability advisers it may also be worth registering with some agencies
Scope's Support to work service are very friendly and so I'd recommend contacting them for their advice.
Also, something I have learnt is to make sure you are hitting all the essential job criteria in your application. Even to the point where you think something is obvious, spell out that you have the skills and why. This is important so that when it comes down to shortlisting your application isn't rejected on the grounds of missing something.
Lots of luck and we are all rooting for you
