I feel dejected that even after trying so hard I'm still unemployed.

How about you try to apply in a call center. I know India like Philippines is a top player in the BPO (business process outsourcing) industry. You can use your english skills, written/spoken. After college, I got hired after failing not less than 10 interviews and exams from different employers. :-) :-) makes me laugh when I remember those days. Btw, welcome to myLot!

Hi Jitinchawla, Welcome to Mylot!! It is not your fault that you are unable to find a job. Jobs are just so so hard to come by right now. i know so many people who share your story. They are educated and would be valuable employees and yet the jobs are just not there. I keep hearing how the unemployment rate is going down but honestly, at least in my area, what I am seeing is a ton of jobs for fast food places and things like that. And many of those are part time with minimum wage and no benefits. Keep trying and try not to get so down on yourself. Take any work you can find even if it isn't what you really want and keep your eyes open. Hopefully a job that you really want will come your way before too long. Take care and I hope to see you around here in other discussions!

hi there, as i have read your post, i cannot see a fault in this situation. i mean, maybe this is the life that has been designed for you. but, i am not saying you become more dejected. who knows, your lucky day and fortunate life is about to come. thus, be positive despite of the trials and problems, still, there are a lot of reason to show that pretty smile.

Sorry to hear that.. things are very tough right now all over this great world. hang in there, keep your head high. Something good will come to you soon. Im sure of it.

No you are have no need to feel dejected just yet. I know you still have bright future in front of you and you just need to keep trying to apply for a job after all. You are just not there yet. Keep trying and praying and going to apply to as many jobs as you can find. I'm sure you'll be able to find one which suits you soon.

Unemployment is really really hard. Here in the Philippines. The unemployment rate goes higher every year. After graduating, I have been unemployed for 1 year, but i never stopped applying. rejections here and there didnt stop me from getting a job. just be persistent. and while your applying try looking for other opportunities as well online that could give you some money. There are so many ways in making money online, such as affiliate marketing, Freelancing, selling photos, and ofcourse Mylot :) Dont be discouraged, its ok to be rejected and its ok to fail. These are the one of the best ingredients you need for your success :)

I was an average student myself and I never really had grades that could put me on the honor roll. But when I was given the chance to work I did great and I have been recognized for the effort and hard works. All it takes was the chance given. As I was given the chance before I am sure that if you keep on trying and you keep your hopes up and never give up and just continuously apply for a job you will soon see and find work suitable to you. Do not put yourself down, be confident and always project positivity in yourself.

Maybe you are working too hard and your expectations are way higher than what you can accomplish. Be realistic. Work hard and don't always expect too much. I have experienced that too and I felt dejected. I was angry at how things turned out so unfair. But the world is never fair. Just do what is right. Do your best and keep looking for opportunities.
