PK_Spam 09/30/18 1:27:32 PM #1:	Ive tried since May 2017 to get a decent job anywhere, but all the professional places I apply to, be it here in Florida, or New York, or Los Angeles, never call me back. Even when I give them calls to make sure my resume went through, since that works sometimes to secure me an interview. But in the year and a half Ive been here, the only jobs Ive gotten are little temp positions, moving jobs, or Walmart, where Im currently at. My resume is pretty good, I have 5 years of office work under my belt, and some good internship experience. I have a college degree and everything too. Why cant a single entry level office position call me back and keep me? I dunno, I have $1500 in my bank account after rent and my sisters birthday present. And with only 2 months left on my lease, Im not going to make enough money to do what I want. Im not even gonna have access to my car should I choose to move on my own. Idk why Im even posting this shit here. Life sucks and I wish it would hurry and end, or get to the good part. Im just really bummed that Im 24 and havent even taken the first real step in the direction I want to. --- https://imgur.com/hCHZS1f <cite>PK_Spam posted [p:909714155] in Jfc, am i ...

Chewster 09/30/18 1:51:41 PM #4:	Sounds like me, but I'm 27. I wish I was still 24 at this point. Never would've hoped it would even get to that age when I first started looking for a better job around age 22, but here we are. I don't really know that applying to non-local areas is doing much good though. I guess it works for some people but the way I look at it is you're just adding another obstacle to your candidacy. Of course it depends on your field and how big the market is where you're at, but I know for me that if I can't even get a software job in the Denver/Boulder area I have no hope anywhere else. Also I thought employers disliked when you called them about your resume but if it's worked for you then maybe not. <cite>Chewster posted [p:909715354] in Jfc, am i ...

That is a pretty basic rule: Always follow-up, it shows them you are interested. Obviously don't hound them, but just calling them to follow up a few days after you submit your resume is always a good thing. Anyways, for TC: It is possible the work you want just isn't there. Plus you are still young, I wouldn't start worrying for another 3-4 years.

Zeus 09/30/18 3:43:01 PM #12:	If you're not even getting interviews, you're probably not applying at enough places. Otherwise the problem could be your major, your experience, or the fact you haven't worked professionally for a few years. I'm not sure what part of Florida you're in, which could also affect it. However, if you have staffing agencies in the area, you should be able to get something. PK_Spam posted... Why cant a single entry level office position call me back and keep me? Well, when you have 5 years of office experience, the entry level jobs are going to view you as being overqualified. Likewise, if you don't have the right experience, you aren't going to get the better office jobs for people with experience. PK_Spam posted... Now its too late.

You can do others things with that money like paying bills and shit to live. And then use the rest to do things you like. Like whatever you do to have fun with friends and family. Not everyone is going to get a job that's meaningful or that they like. But you still need to make money to live.

Zeus 09/30/18 7:29:02 PM #42:	PK_Spam posted... I mean, Ive been wanting to go to LA since high school. And things just keep happening to stop me. And you probably could have gone there at any time. In general, people are their own greatest obstacles. Usually the biggest thing stopping anybody from doing anything is themselves. People who really want to make a go out of it will find a way. There are actors and writers who drove down there, lived in their car while finding work, and then worked shit jobs for years before having their break. Honestly, you're not putting your all into it. Even if you saved up money, there would always be one more excuse to not go -- and, as you get older, it will get harder and harder to move out there just because you'll get financially stable somewhere else, you'll meet friends and partners, etc, and eventually you'll just settle into a life. That's why it's most popular for youths with nothing to go there. PK_Spam posted... Those days are long gone, dude. I dont even have anyone who honestly likes me down here. My sister barely puts up with me, and Im currently renting a house with her. Real talk -- If you can't build a network of friends and contacts in Florida, how do you expect to make it in LA? Obviously the places will have different kinds of people, but if you don't have the soft skills to build meaningful relationships in one place odds are that you won't be able to do it somewhere else. PK_Spam posted... And my original plan WAS ago get a job (any job) and save my money. But now thats gone because I have to leave a place of low opportunity to a place with none. My hometown is literally an hour away from the nearest supermarket. Theres nothing for miles and milea Is it one of those areas with packs of wild dogs? >_> And yeah, I've been to Penn, I know that large swaths of the state are absolute shitholes. However, even the shitty places seem to have some businesses. I'm assuming your parents worked so there has to be at least some opportunity somewhere. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:909733475] in Jfc, am i ...

Never have been.

When we suggested that in the FB group you said you could then backed out because of your family again. You always come up with something to get in your way on your own. Im having this problem because I wont have my car if I move there My original plan involved doing a dead end job like waiting tables after I moved, but I cant do that right now if I dont have a car LAs public transport is near nonexistent. And getting an Uber every single day will ruin my bank account and budget They have busses in LA. You're making another excuse. They also have the metro. I've been there like 10 times without a car. --- https://imgur.com/4ihiyS2 "I am not gay! Can't you get that through your head?

Thousands of people live and work in blue-collar jobs without a personal vehicle. It isn't an easy way to live, but it can be done. You're a recent graduate--reach out to Penn State's career office. Hit up the college/department you earned your degree from. Utilize your networks. Set a firm goal for the number of jobs you will apply to each day. I still can't tell what kind of jobs you're aiming for, but you may need to expand industries. --- https://imgur.com/1yl1fH0 the White-Sounding Black Chick <cite>RCtheWSBC posted [p:909736460] in Jfc, am i ...
