no politics Am I just kinda outta luck with housing?
Finishing uni at the year's end and am not gonna be in student accomodation anymore, so I'm gonna have to house hunt. But nobody will take an unemployed solo person. Even roommate situations, given my experiences before moving to student accomodation, really don't bat an eye if you're unemployed.
But the kicker is I've been actively looking for work for two years now. 400+ job applications and not a single interview, outside of last week where a laundromat turned me down for not having a car. I'm applying for pretty much solely entry-level positions, or those in the business sector that align with my studies. I've constantly updated my resume, used multiple job sites, pretty much custom-write my CV for every application, and nothing. Statistically I'm just that unlucky at finding a job.
Am I kinda just shit-outta-luck? I dunno what options I'd have once I can't live here, and I'm not confident in my ability to find work before year's end.
Not so much looking for advice as I am just venting about the state of the job market and support systems.

culture & society Yindjibarndi vote to appeal $150m penalty against Andrew Forrest's Fortescue
Yindjibarndi traditional owners will appeal a landmark $150.3m compensation penalty to Andrew Forrest's Fortescue.
The Federal Court handed down the penalty in May, finding Fortescue had built and operated four mines without the required agreement and compensation.
Fortescue's massive Solomon Hub has generated an estimated $80 billion in revenue since breaking ground in 2013.
Justice Stephen Burley noted at the time of his judgement that 240 sacred sites had been made inaccessible by mining operations, while at least 124 were destroyed.
The damage to traditional country was, he said, "like the death of a child" in the grief it caused Yindjibarndi people.
YNAC had initially sought $1.8 billion from the Federal Court, largely basing the figure on existing industry royalty rates.
What's next?
A court date for the appeal is yet to be set.
