Just graduated, but can’t seem to find work in my degree. The jobs I’ve been applying to for months haven’t responded, or immediately reject me. No big deal, I’ll apply to retail and restaurant jobs for temporary work. Same response. Radio silence, and rejections. If I get an interview, I’m rejected the day after. Fast food jobs won’t hire me. It’s depressing. I keep changing tactics, changing my resumes. Nothing. Won’t be able to afford rent in a month too. No idea what I’m doing wrong.

Hang in there & keep applying. I tell everyone that finding a job is a "full-time" job. Set a few hours a day to apply for various job on different job boards. Do odd jobs like Doordash, Uber, Rover- dog walking, baby sitter, grocery shopping & delivery so you can get some cash flow while you keep searching for the job you want. Be sure to prioritize your mental health & physical health by getting out and getting some fresh air and getting some exercise. If you would like, you can send me your email 📧 and I can look at your Resume to see if you might need to modify a bit. Best of luck.

Go in person. Look good, clean, fashionable. Smile. Service jobs sometimes need people right away and don’t have the time to screen candidates. It’s a little bit of luck but also grit. If they tell you to come back later… do it. Good luck.
