I've been applying to many different jobs and still from 6 months no one has gotten back, What am I doing wrong? I wonder if I'm considered unprofessional and how to fix my situation.

I want to see if it's possible to still get a career without graduating college or university.


What do you think is a smart plan? What do you think that will help my situation?

It is absolutely possible to get a good career without a college degree. Might take a bit more work in this job market, but it's definitely doable. There's a good chance you aren't doing anything wrong; the job market right now is just awful. Many people with years of experience and numerous degrees have been on the job hunt for even longer. But how confident do you feel about your resume/cover letter?

What kinds of jobs are you applying for? It is a difficult job market, but that doesn’t mean to should stop trying either. Maybe try to figure out your next career move and start working towards that, not just with applications, but maybe picking up volunteer experience or trying to get training, depending on what the next job might need.

Constantly tweak your resume, do things like having a list of your skills at the top. Make your duties into small summaries. Make it less then 3 pages, simple to the point, and it will capture someone's eyes.

Job hunting without a degree is tough, but totally doable. Focus on skills, tailor your resume, take free courses, and network. Stay persistent—your break will come!

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
