I've been job searching for a while now, and it's been really tough. I'm 21 and currently working at a local restaurant where I've been for almost four years. I started there during my senior year of high school, thinking it would just be a temporary gig while I pursued a career in radiology. Unfortunately, after getting rejected from the radiology program at my community college, I took a gap year and now I feel completely lost. I'm making $13.75 an hour, and there's no real growth potential at my job. I don't want to stay in the restaurant industry forever, but I'm starting to worry that I'll never find anything else. I've applied to numerous positions, but I often hear nothing back. The few interviews I've had felt promising, yet I still haven't received any offers. The anxiety I feel before interviews can be overwhelming, sometimes leading to panic attacks. It's disheartening to call back and find out I didn't get the job, especially after investing so much energy into the process. I keep thinking that my lack of experience, having only worked at one place, might be holding me back. It's frustrating because I can't gain more experience if no one is willing to hire me. I really want to take control of my career, but I feel stuck. I'm looking for advice on how to improve my chances of getting a job or at least securing more interviews. I've attached my resume for feedback, as I'm open to any suggestions on how to make it better.
