Why we started

Job seeking is lonely. It doesn't have to be.

One minute you're part of a team, with colleagues and friends to talk to every day. The next, you've been made redundant or your contract has ended, and you're working it all out on your own.

We created the Job Seeker Community because we've seen how isolating that can be. It's a place to find some respite from the loneliness, among people who understand what you're going through and won't judge you.

"It all started in June 2024. Margaret Gilbert, a senior Program Manager, and I used to catch up for a virtual coffee every Friday morning. One week I said to her, 'What if we invited others to join us? If no one else shows up, we'll still have our chat. What could go wrong?' We put the call out and 56 people came along. That was the first Job Seeker Café."

Ask Trevor

Ask Trevor anything.

Recruiters who go quiet, LinkedIn, interviews, salary, or the job ad that wants 15 years' experience in a tool that's five years old. Send it in.

Every question gets a personal reply from Trevor within a week. Some get answered live at the Monthly Mic Drop, the online Job Seeker Café's Q&A.
