I have been trying to find a job for the past 2 years and I have not been able to go further than a round two interview of four. I have applied to multiple jon openings through LinkedIn, Indeed, SimplyHired, and other smaller platforms that I can’t remember because I’ve been through so many. I have tried directly contacting companies asking if they are interested in freelance work or even an opportunity to have an informative interview and nothing. I have tried temp agencies and it’s either truly crappy pay work or they are just not interested in me. I have updated my resume numerous times, I have gone to job fairs and talk with companies and nothing. I have tried to reach out to what little network that I have and they have really not been helpful. Hell, I’ve even tried applying to Walmart and I still got no response and it’s been like 2 months. I just don’t know what to do anymore. If anyone can kindly give me some advice, that would be greatly apperciated.
- I have a Bachelors in Psychology and I have over 5 years of customer service experience.
My apologies, my intention was more academic focused, and I failed to consider the perspective of it being considered “just leave” alongside the monetary concerns of my statement.
To elaborate:
Some academic scholarships overseas offer stipends, and even work study. Which could help the original poster with filling out their resume, have a place to be, and even find more offerings or places to be.
@doomsdayrs Money is just one of the issues. You’d have to leave everything and, more importantly, everyone you know, your whole social context, behind.
It’s not easy to do, especially when you’re an adult with friends, family, romantic partners and responsibilities. You can’t just pack them all up with you, as they have the same problem, just one level down. And if you don’t have the means to travel frequently from one country to another, you might just as well leave for another planet. Sure, electronic communication exists, but it’s not a substitute.
