The sad thing about job hunting is that no matter how much you do it, you've never actually made any more progress.

I'm exactly where I was two months ago. Nothing's working. All I want is to be an adult, just give me a wage slave job please I swear to god I'll do anything no matter how degrading it is. I can't take it anymore. I take all the energy I have to compose myself and go into every opportunity with confidence and enthusiasm and at this point getting rejected again barely even hurts. Just throw me a bone somewhere, I don't even care

What is your specialty? Where do you live?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Fukfacewillie actuarial science, it's like a statistics/insurance thing. I can only say I live in the US, I'm looking for jobs all throughout the country though.

@BlueVeins what seems to be the hold-up? Internships? Interview skills? References?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Fukfacewillie Most places don't ask for references. I don't have any internships... I applied for a lot of those too but didn't make it.

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@BlueVeins So, lack of professional experience? The old catch 22?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Fukfacewillie yeah :(

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@BlueVeins Lesser job for a year? Temp,work? Don’t want to be stale for too long…

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Fukfacewillie Yeah, I've been looking for things like that too. I can't get any jobs like that either

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@BlueVeins Are there jobs in your field? What am I not getting. We can’t hire anyone good.

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Fukfacewillie there are some. i don't know why this is so hard.

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

@BlueVeins Maybe a lower level position in insurance?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Fukfacewillie like what, janitor?

Carla · 61-69, F

@BlueVeins yes. Like janitor.
I have to tell you that is so much easier to get a job, if you have a job.
Any job.
