  1. 2

    I've been on the job hunt for about 3.5 years since graduating, and it's been a tough road. I worked as a hotel supervisor for two years, but I eventually burned out and left that role. Since then, I've been interviewing at various places, hoping to land a decent job, but I've faced numerous rejections despite having recommendations from higher-ups. It's really starting to feel pointless, and I can't shake the feeling that something about my approach or vibe is off. I've heard the advice to keep trying, but after the eighth rejection, it just doesn't resonate anymore. It’s disheartening to see my friends thriving in their careers while I struggle to even secure an entry-level position. I’ve thought about going back to a front desk job, but I really disliked that role, and I doubt it would lead me to the career I want. I’m open to different opportunities, but I want to make sure I'm not being taken advantage of by a boss. It's a frustrating place to be.

  2. 1

    I've been searching for a decent job for the past 3.5 years since graduating college. Currently, I'm living with my parents because I can't afford to live on my own. I've had 8 different referrals that led to interviews, but unfortunately, I've never made it past the final round. It's been really tough, and I'm starting to consider alternative life options. I've even wondered if homelessness is as bad as it sounds. I've received some advice from others suggesting that I might need to start with a lower-level job, like in customer service at a hotel, to gain some basic experience. I know I shouldn't feel ashamed for living with my parents while I search for something better, but it's wearing me down. It seems like everyone is saying that many people started with less-than-ideal jobs before moving up, and I guess I need to keep that in mind as I continue my search.
