I can't get a job with my degrees and recommendations while my less skilled groupmates get it?

Join the club!! I've been trying all my life to get a job ibn a record store or radio station and EVERYBODY BUT me can EASILY get those jobs and, to them, they're just something to do to pay the bills until something better comes along and they know NOTHING about the job but, to me, they're my dream jobs and I have LOADS of knowledges about it.

Well you can't even form a question while trying to ask a question. I wouldn't hire you either.

Because no matter what skills you have, you need to learn the skill of advertising yourself properly. If you learn to build that skill, you won't encounter issues along the way.

I've heard of being so far over educated for a particular job and maybe that is the issue.

Nah, she is just not getting a job because of other factors. But I am sure she will be fine

It's understandable to feel frustrated in this situation. Focus on networking, as connections often play a significant role in job opportunities. Tailor your resume and cover letter for each job to highlight relevant skills and achievements. Practice interview techniques to confidently convey your value. Consider upskilling or gaining experience through internships or volunteer work to enhance your profile. Stay resilient and open to feedback, and opportunities will emerge.

Your degrees and recommendations possibly do not outweigh some other less tangible factors like perceived personality issues. What other information do you have about why you are being rejected?

[Miristheiss]

A degree in what?

🤔yeah, I think you are not going to get work with that. There is no factory that hires those in my place. You can get a job in a School teaching children or go for journalism with your Communications degree.

By the way, here is a bit of experience for you. So I was a star student in my university and I got gold medals and they didn't hire me and got to hire 2 girls back in 2020. And when I protested the selection on basis that even after hiring the girls, 1 of the girls kept asking me for ways to teach students and I really wanted to teach students not like how it is here in my country where most people just teach because it's the easiest job you can find and most low paying. I had money so I just was excited I will be teaching a lab course to students and then it didn't happen.

Well, long story short, I was called in by a different professor for research work out of blue for a different university and then my father asked me to lend a hand with work for the estate and then I look back and I think there is a higher purpose. I taught not the privileged but I taught the poor people in my village😀and learned a lot from them.

Oh by the way, my mentor once told me his own story, he said that when he was in school, someone told him that he will get him a government job if he does 8 classes. Then he was asked to do college and then go for computer course back in. 1990s. In the end degrees are just excuses. If you are good at it then find a way you can contribute to your economy:).

My father's friend is barely able to write in English and has done 8 classes and now he owns a tile factory, a warehouse in China and has a lot of other things. So don't be sad, God chooses whosoever He wants to bestow with wealth.
Remember the story of Jesus where a tax collector came to visit him and people ridiculed him. Well you can follow the example of humility.

Be happy at your group mates getting a job. Be happy for them and I am sure someone will come to help you too.
