This thread is for everyone who is searching for a job to post about their failures and successes (but probably more about failures).
Okay. I'll get things started:
Resume: Master's degree in public policy, interested in criminal justice, knowledge of statistical software (80% true), lack of work experience, one internship, willing to work for shitty pay
Successes: One interview. Wasn't really excited about the job in the first place. . . was told that I am overqualified.
Failures: Can't seem to find any jobs that I would love to have
Current Status: Have 5 resumes floating out there.
Strategy: Apply for jobs that only require a Bachelor's degree, so I seem more desirable. No word if strategy is working.
Next steps: I'm thinking of spamming organizations and sending my resume everywhere even if there are no openings. I don't really want to do this.
Hopefully there are other people out there in a similar situation.
