Stacey Duguid, a fashion professional, says she and other experienced women are struggling to find work despite submitting large numbers of applications. In her account, they make over 2,000 job applications between them but receive few or no replies.
The outlets frame the issue as an ongoing recruitment problem rather than a single rejection. Both articles point to Duguid’s earlier Instagram post as the starting point for her description of the situation, with the reporting emphasizing that the women share at least one common factor—though the provided excerpts do not specify what that shared factor is. The articles do not cite detailed evidence such as response rates by employer, hiring statistics, or interviews with recruiters.
Overall, the coverage presents the personal experiences of applicants and highlights how lack of contact after applications can block job seekers, while offering limited information on employer perspectives or broader labor-market causes.
