I will be 23 in two months. I've spent eight months (almost nine) after graduating college being unemployed. I made a huge mistake choosing a shitty liberal arts major years ago and paying for it. I don't have enough money to get a master's degree. I've been applying to Gamestop and Kmart and now my standards have dropped so low that I would consider myself successful to work shit minimum wage jobs because there's nothing else I can do. I used to think I would be successful and have an important job just because I had any college degree. How wrong I was...
Don't give up hope mate, climb back up the ladder. You can do it
Nah, there's nothing I can do, trust me I have been searching for 9 months and submitted 70+ applications with thoughtfully written cover letters. The most I can hope for is to work in retail, eventually become an assistant manager, and then maybe a manager. All I can do with my degree is teach, which I can't even do now without going back to school for another 2 years and I don't want to do that.
did you get an english degree without a teaching certification or something? try getting a job at an insurance company like geico.. i hear they aren't too picky with hiring and they're good about giving you the hours you need with good pay
I've done a lot of research about working with insurance and read employee reviews, and I would have to say you are misinformed. The reason why they are not picky is because it is terrible and there isn't a high retention rate. First of all, they make you pay for the classes you need to take to get an insurance license. Secondly, it is all commission. You do not get paid unless you make a sale. Sometimes there might be a base salary when you are just starting out. Third, it is all cold-calling to find customers. Some places even have you fill out a book of everyone you know and have you try to make them switch over to their insurance. I am not a sales person by any means, and to mean it sounds like a terrible job where the employees are expendable.
