I'm literally depressed off the strength that I can't find a job. I've applied all over the place and have been declined at even the lightest jobs due to "over qualification" (Masters degree in Information Science) or lack of experience knowing all the programs and shyt these places are looking for.

:mjcry: shyt shouldn't affect me so much but I've been starting to harbor some negative emotions towards life and I don't want to go to that dark place but damn, what's a good job a college grad can get that pays relatively decent? My last job was $30K but the toxic stress I accumulated and racism I experienced at the job wasn't worth it. shyt, I would've stayed if it wasn't for all that. Just not feeling like myself breh. Gotta get this money somehow :sadcam:

Breh, been there and, shyt, kinda still going through it.

What I find that works is, in addition to applying online and such, explore and utilize your network. I'm talking friends, family, former colleagues, etc. Let them all know you are unemployed/ underemployed and in the market for a new job.

Don't give 2 fukks about ya pride, it's about getting steady income.

Idek where to start.

Well I got out of college right at the start of the recession so I can relate.

But if you're getting no interviews at all, I'd bet anything your resume is :trash:. I'd advise you to hit up the career center at whatever college you went to and have them fix your resume and see if they have any leads on jobs.

Seen it on facebook. Farm labororer. Work for cash. No criminal backgrojnd check. No cv. No interview. Just hard physical work. I love it. Allah provided. Not to mention im the first non white person to ever work on this farm. Plus my manager has been prison so he doesnt discriminate. Great work environment.

Already did. I’ve even been told my resume is phenomenal.

If you're sure your resume is on point and you're still not getting calls, the other thing I'd suggest is to think about relocating.

You could just be in an area where there aren't many jobs in your field.
