Hi Reddit,
I am a May 2024 graduate and have been applying to full time roles of all kinds since graduation. I have 2 years of field experience including internships all throughout college and a current VERY part time role in the industry. I have had absolutely no “luck” finding any jobs. I have interviews, waste hours of my time driving to further rounds of interviews and preparing, all to be told they will not be moving forward with my application at this time.
I feel that if I were to actually get offered a position, I would be the luckiest girl alive. Why does finding a role feel like a “miracle?” Statistically speaking, it generally is. A very rare chance in a long game of luck.
It’s been about 6 months of this casino-like game and I can’t understand why. Surely, people OVER eligible are receiving the jobs “aimed” towards those like myself, and that’s not fair either.
I guess I’m just looking for some hope. I feel like I have failed in life at just 22 because everyone else has a job but me (of my peers, I know it’s a wide spread issue right now)!!
