Please, can somebody lend me their shoulder to cry on! I'm so stressed I could!  |
|
I am a recent college grad looking for work. I know it's a recession and all, but this is right ridiculous! I know that I have put in at least 300 resumes and applications this summer alone. I have even gone so far as to find work in cities where I would HAVE to relocate and start over. It just makes me feel so pathetic and worthless to not have a job after I've gone through college for six years.
It seems to me like my accreditations don't amount to anything. I figure the jobs I apply to would rather hire someone with experience than to spend time and money training somebody with less knowledge of that particular job. I have even tried my hands in some online work, but I can only find PTCs or surveys or that type of stuff. I thought it would be easy after school, but I see that's hardly the case.
It's the same way for my BF. He just can't catch a break and it depresses him that he can't do much for our family. He tries his best to find work, but ends up with the same results as me. We are really suffering from a streak of bad luck this summer. It's down to the wire for me and my family. If I don't find work real soon, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Please share some words of encouragement. I really need them. Thanks y'all.

1. andalond (3388) | 5 months ago | Well I live in California and it's a bad state to be in if you are trying to find work. First of all I know how you feel. I have been going to school for around 3 years now and I am going to graduate next summer. I have put applications in but most of them want internship type people. I have no experience in what I am studying and I cannot work for free. I wish you luck in looking and hang in there....

| 2. Jathop3 (34) | 5 months ago | Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do. It is a hard time now, and I am sure you work so hard, so hard that you are feeling exhausted by now. Maybe it's not today, maybe it's not tomorrow, maybe it's not this week or month...but hey, nothing is completely useless in this world. It's hard now, and it might get even harder, but at one point things will work out. It might sounds ridiculous telling you that now, but it's more fortunate to believe it rather than always scaring yourself with bad thought, no? I also wish you'll find a good job soon.:)

| 3. Kiwi_fruit (7) | 5 months ago | Next month it's time for me to go to college. Though I haven't experienced, the information I got showed me that it's really hard to find a job, especially a satisfatory job. Things are same in China. I don't know how to help you(Though I didn't know you before). What I can do is to encourage you. Pleas take it easy and believe yourself. I think if you really try your best, you can get the best result. Best wishes to you, you BF and your family

4. vandana7 (1705) | 5 months ago | Hi, I am sorry u r going thru so much at this young age. U could try doing some freelancing jobs thru net. Hopefully, some of them offer good recommendations, and u can tide through the rough period. Elance, and getafreelancer are two sites that come to mind offhand. I know Elance clients pay. Getafreelancer is something even I am new to. U could also try academia-research for some content writing works. I do some jobworks for addr. I dont know if u can do such works in ur country. U could try applying to them as well. If it makes u feel any better, I struggled thru such phase for over 10 years. And have now reached a position that I can afford to absorb such periods in my life. So u both definitely have some good times in store for u in future. Hang on. God only gives limited pain.:-)

| 9. andreivalake (15) | 5 months ago | That's something "normal" in this time we are living. The economy is down and the emplyers are interested in getting the costs down. My advice for you is this: "Never let it go. Keep searching and trust your abilities. The employers need profesionals and you need to prove them that you are"
Good luck!

| 10. TheGambler (10) | 5 months ago | Sorry to hear about the problem you're having finding a job. I know how you feel because I was laid off in January and after submitting my resume for hundreds and hundreds of job applications, I still cannot even get an interview. I have 30 years of experience that seems to account for nothing. It's not true though. The real problem is that we have so much competition out there since there have been so many people laid off from their jobs. You have to keep going and try applying for jobs in different fields. Also, never forget that you are not the problem. It gets hard to keep your self-esteem, but you have to remember, you're an intelligent person and you can prove it to them if they give you the chance. I took a part-time job just to try to keep my sanity and to get out in the world each day and be around other people. They say the best way to get a job is to network with everyone you know and meet. Someone will know someone that knows of a job that is open. Keep asking around and keep the faith!
