Economy is cooked. Figured last case scenario I’d get a bank teller job after finishing my degree in finance and business administration and work my way up. Every (relevant/even bs fast food) job in my area has turned me down without an interview. I’ve been turned down from Walmart (no interview) when I have 3 years experience working in super markets. No idea where to go from here but the rent is always due.

If you get an interview make sure you’re personable. Look up interview questions online and practice. I hire tellers myself, I value communication skills over counting money. Obviously cash handling is great to see but I can teach you to count, I can’t teach you to build rapport with people. That’s invaluable. Make sure your resume reflects that.

What perhaps wasn’t clear in my comment was communication skills can set you apart from other applicants.

I think the economy isn't horrible, or great, but just "meh" right now. Job market and economy aren't always related. Job market definitely seems to be much worse than economy right now.

Sorry to hear that. Don't kick yourself, I'm sure most of what's happening is just bad timing. Organizations are timid about hiring. You're overqualified for some of the jobs you've mentioned, so that could get you turned down. Companies don't want to hire someone who will leave the second they find a job more suited to them. Broaden your search beyond banks and stay persistent.

I’ve been where you are … during the financial crisis. I had just earned my MBA and had a JD. My strategy became to get a job where I saw the most job listings. It was a low paying job in tax. But it helped me pivot to a solid career. I was turned down just like you. They see that you’re over qualified.

Keep going. I know it’s hard. It will change for the better. Try recruiting companies that have temp jobs. There’s a trick to that too. Feel free to message me and I’ll offer any advice I can.

Make a connection find a common ground smile! Use keywords and skills that are relevant for the job. Also when they ask you, ”where do you see yourself in five years?” simply reply, “sitting in your chair” because in five years the same person interviewing likely will have become promoted to regional manager or CEO!
Most Leaders like to gather their teams on their way up the ladder. So why not be an early applicant?

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!
