Job hunt rant
I'm sick of applying for jobs and getting rejection after rejection after rejection. I graduated college back in August 2018. I had my ceremony in December 2018. I applied for so many jobs and internships and even landed some interviews and did not land a single one. It is frustrating. The worst part is, I also applied to some graduate schools (because I thought it might be my experience), but the majority of them rejected me as well. Only 2 grad schools accepted me, 1 being online while the other being far away and has a climate that I'm not used to. Both only take 1 year to complete. It feels like I'm now forced to continue looking for jobs with the skill set I have. It feels like I have to go through 1,000 rejections before I ever get acceptance. It feels like my parents spent a lot of money on my future only to not get one. I feel hopeless, and I am panicking. It's also embarrassing, because my friends were able to start their careers fairly quickly (some even majoring in the same field as me), yet I am still struggling. It feels like the real world hates me and will do whatever it can to get me to fail. I am about to go 1 full year after graduating college without starting my career, and it feels like I might have to go several before then as well. I don't know what to do.
Stop blaming yourself. Review what you submitted to the employers who interviewed you. Go over the wuestions they asked and prepare yourself for the next time you go for an interview. Remember to review whatv the company is engaged in and see if there is something you can do to improve their operation. Be proactive and positive. Good luck.
Dear anonymous. I'm sure you have heard it said that the darkest hour is just before the dawn. Don't give up on yourself or yours dreams and passions. Things will turn around. I went through the exact same experience and I could not find a job in my chosen field coming out of college. One day I was talking to a friend, after about a year of searching, and he told me he could get me a job working with him. The job ended up being as a night janitor for a sanitation company, but I took it. I helped to lift my esteem and I felt good just about working. I went from there to working at a convenience store before finally landing a part time job in my field. The opportunities to do what you are passionate about and have studies for will come. For now, maybe just look for a job that will help take you out of your own negative head space, provide an opportunity to make some money and get you into the job market.
At this point, I'm honestly considering suicide. It feels like I can't work in a field I'm passionate about, because I keep getting rejected. It's been over a year now, but time will only make things worse. I just feel like the field I chose just didn't choose me. It just makes me sad and depressed. I don't know what else to do. I've tried everything with no success. It feels like I'm just not meant to be successful.

Hello Anonymous job Hunter Sounds like to me you better open up your own business, if I could not find a job position that suited me I would open up my own business. I did open up my own business years ago, kind of in the same situation I just didn't want to work needless jobs that I didn't enjoy, so I went into business and I've had a handful of different businesses I worked with. If you can't find the position you create the position.
U lucky I graduated back in 2010 and that was when the economy was rough. Stay positive I took a few jobs and guess what 3 years yep 3 years later I was in my field. Just keep steadfast and dont lose hope you will land that job. I was really upset behind this but I humbled myself and finally got in my field. Now I'm ready for a change lol banking here I come. Good luck you got this. Get you a well polished resume and great interview tips and start networking hard. Best of luck
I run an Educational Consulting firm. I can help you get into grad school. My website is http://www.brightfuturesedconsulting.com, or you can email me at home (at) brightfuturesedconsulting (dot) com.
The first things I will do for you are help you figure out your strengths and interests (through an extensive proprietary questionnaire and a review of your transcripts), how they translate into a major, and what the best schools are for that major -- especially with an eye to keeping debt low. After that, I help with all aspects of the application process, from asking for recommendation letters to writing the application essay to applying for scholarships and financial aid, if you need that help.
I can provide this service in person (locally for cheap, anywhere in the country at cost), or I can provide it fully online at a discounted rate. First hour of consultation is free. My phone number is listed on my website.
Commenters are giving some excellent advice!!! I'd take notes if I were you.
With my performance arts degree I have found that teaching (in school and VIPKid) will pay the bills and volunteering with community theatre is a great way to make connections and gain experience!! I didn’t get my schools “stamp of approval” nor was I in the “in crowd” so the department will not support me at all but who cares?! I have so much experience and credentials, by paving my own path and not waiting on others to accept me. Schools are always in need of help with their drama departments so reach out to them and be willing to drive (my last job was 1 hour and 15 minutes away). You can do it!
What is your major?
