Jobless in Delta

Ok, I'm seriously so upset right now. It's been 6 months since I graduated and I still don't have a full time job. Now, I know this isn't unusual, economy, etc, but I've been on soooo many job interviews and the rejection letters keep rolling in. I just can't take it anymore. I don't know what to do. I just called to see if another company made their decision yet, and of course I didn't get it. I can't stop crying. I feel like such a failure. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I wouldn't mind so much because I do have 2 part time jobs, but they don't pay well at all, and I really need benefits because of health conditions. I also need to buy an new car and my "rent free lease" is about to expire at my parents' house. Plus, I'm not happy because I work so many hours and don't earn any real money.

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! I can't. It's not physically, emotionally or mentally possible.

I don't know if this would help but do you know that you can go back to your school's career service and see if they can help you. Maybe use different techniques during interviewing.

Don't give up. You have stay confident and strong.

Jess,

What was your major? My firm is hiring right now -if you have any background in finance, accounting, management, or computer science, let me know. I work for one of the Big 4 global consulting firms and I love it - PM me, okay?

Stay strong!! You'll find something.

WE love you no matter what !!!!!!! Keep your head up I will be facing the real world too and it SCARES me to DEATH so I totally sympathize I agree try your school career center... maybe ask some of the companies for some concrete reasons so that maybe you can at least have some idea of any improvements that need to be made... YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE sooo many people don't even have a college degree to try and put to work for them so you have succeeded at something that took you 4 (or 5?) years to complete that you didn't HAVE to do...we sometimes take it for granted but it is an acheivement in itself so maybe try looking to some of that resolve that kept you going to class everyday into keep on hitting the pavement and AIM HIGH don't lose heart I know it's hard but it will happen !!!
