Graduated last year and have interviewed for a few entry level logistics roles but I cannot seem to get a job and I'm getting panicked. What are some of the easiest jobs to get into/where should I be looking that maybe i'm not?

Hey, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble finding a job. The job market isn't very nice these days. But roles like Retail sales associate, Customer service representative, Data entry clerk, Retail sales associate, Administrative assistant, etc don't need a lot of experience before you get hired so you might want to start from there to get your foot in the door

Don't limit yourself to specific job titles or industries. Consider exploring adjacent roles like warehouse associate, logistics technician, or logistics coordinator. They might have more opportunities and could lead to your desired career path in supply chain management.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
