Been applying & applying wo any luck?
I have been applying online for technical jobs without any luck. I worked in technical support many years & my job off-shored. So I went back to school finished my B.S. CIS but can’t find anything. Every job wants so much different software language etc . I can’t keep up. Then I apply for non technical wo luck either. How do you get a job today?

Lol Wells fargo doesn't have a single job listing under 5 years of experience. and CIS isn't as difficult as CS. I would try getting A+ certification and CCNA on top of your bachelors degree it might help

It would have helped if you mentioned where you were. Hopefully, you are in a tech hub somewhere.
A CS degree is not going to help you if you arent close to where they are writing software. If you have a BS in CS, then you are theoretically qualified to be a jr member of a software development team.
I often have to deal with the messes when corp HR plunks a recent CS graduate into my IT Ops team. Its not pretty and the only thing I can have them do is answering phones. HR teams dont get this.
A CS degree is for software engineering (computer programming)
CS is not so helpful in support and IT operations. They dont really teach IT operations in school and being a rock concert roiadies is probably the best prep for that job.
Your degree is intended for people who are going to go write software.
The top demand language is "java script" (Not to be confused with java itself). I forgot what #2 is. Pythin is the number 3 most in demand. Im going to presume you have both of those.
You can learn python online if you dont. learnpython.org is a good place to start.
If you dont have python, learn it online. They wont hold you up for experience because you just graduated. They will probably need you to write some demo code at the interview. Learn enough online to pass that initial interview.
Python is amazingly easy to pick up. When I was a kid, they taught BASIC in school, but there was little call for it in the business world. Now they teach Python in public schools and it IS used in the industry. There is a LOT of artificial intelligence code written in Python.
Once you have Python, Go-Lang will be a snap to pick up.
Ruby will also be easier too.
You will have to worry about getting Ruby and Python mixed up though.
Put your social life on hold and study every spare moment you have even after you get the job. Somewhere along the way, you will gain enough traction that you can ease off and still hold on.
Someone with a CS degree, I will presume to know a half dozen computer languages or more.
Some thoughts: Age discrimination is not as bad in IT operations as it is in siftware development. Software engineering is very sexist, so beware.
To be honest, I suspect that you are making some errors in how and where you market yourself. Once you figure those things out, in this economy, you should get snapped up into a SW dev project quickly.
Just remember, there are 10 types of people in this world, those who count in binary and those who dont!

Investment in education is still a wise investment. Unfortunately, the world is changing faster that we can keep up with. Do yourself a favor and try another tactic. Join a club, social organization or go to www.meetup.com/ and get involved with other people with similar interests. Your references are your strongest asset in today's economy. Good luck.

always say truth , I believe ,you success any examination

It's back to its not what you know but who you know, and from my experience I have some people I church with one by the name of Tracy who have gave me more of a run around them my Caucasian asspciates. I guess Kat Willaim was correct find you some other outlets.

There are some counselors at the university that can help you find programs which will lead to opportunities you are looking for employment.

Debbie, Does the school from which you graduated from have a placement person. They SHOULD help!!! We now live in a time where you may have to move to another state where the jobs are. If you find that there are many, many applicants then send yours in, call them in a few days and tell them you're going to see them tomorrow. There reply might be "We're so busy here that we would have to find your application first. Tell the that you will bring a copy of your resume with you. Learn lots about the company and go for it!!!! Did that many years ago and got the job. Have you tried networking??

Make sure you tell them you are looking for a Career not a job.

If I were you, I would avoid working in IT. I have been preaching this at high schools, colleges, and universities for 10 years.
Why invest money in education for a field that has such a high turnover rate? Employers are always looking to outsource and replace IT jobs.
Honestly, I would go back to school and get an education in a discipline that actually gets respect, because IT employees receive no respect and are often shit on by their employers.
The IT field is a huge joke.
Employers are starting to whine and complain about the drought of IT talent in the United States, when in reality they brought this on themselves.
Students enrolling in secondary education institutions have caught on to the fact that employers treat IT people like shit. Employers also lowball prospective IT employees salary wise.
Don't get me started on the typical interview process, because it is a joke.
Consider what Disney did recently. Disney fired several IT employees and replaced them with offshore people, refusing to grant severances until the fired employees trained their offshore replacements.
This is the status quo in IT. That's why I can't recommend this field to anyone that wants to enter or remain in it.
Try law enforcement, hospitals, banks or a temp services for a job temp to hire.
