Same boat (sorta). It's been almost impossible to even receive interviews before the pandemic. Now it's absolute crickets, including minimum wage unskilled positions.
I'll be very disappointed if the government does not roll out a support package for unemployed people that simply cannot get a job due to COVID-19.
