Hey man. I have no advice to give you but just wanted to say that I am legitimately in the same boat as you and the boat seems to be going nowhere. I was extremely depressed and in fact it got quite unhealthy how depressed I was. I came to realize and understand that there had to either be 1) some circumstances that were beyond my control or 2) some component in my application process that I was doing wrong. Or both. I think as university students we perceive life events, short term, on semester basis and long term on a year 1-4 basis so it always feels like a race against [a very little amount of] time. Well anyways with that being said, I decided to listen to people's advice and just keep at it but don't take it too personally. Things have turned out okay for people before us and we can't be as big of misfits as we think we are. This has helped me feel a lot better. We should get a beer.

It's easy to say everything will be better man, but the truth is you have to make things better yourself. Nothing is handed to us, especially in this generation (terrible economy, inflation thru the roof, etc.). You have to work to make it better, which is why I am posting this thread.

If anything, I am glad my job search despair has made someone's day better. LOL. Good luck!

In your interviews, are you telling them that it's a summer job? You have to realize that there might be other candidates they are interviewing that wants to stay in the company longer. Also, make sure you have something to offer that is much better than the other candidates. Positivity comes to mind.

Do you have any skills or experience? Maybe look for a job based on those. If you're not afraid of heavy physical work... I'm pretty sure one of the big chain grocery (superstore, london drugs, etc) will hire stockers.

Lastly, if you've tried all I've mentioned and/or don't possess the experience/skills to get into a specific job, McDonald's or 7/11 are probably your last resort.

Well I don't say specifically that it's a summer job, but I do tell them that I am available F/T during the summer. And that I will get back to them on my fall availability when it approaches but I will be able to do P/T.

really hard for me to take you seriously when i read shit like that from someone who is supposedly hurting for a job.

not just you but alot of folks in that age range are too good for alot of jobs. fastfood? security? labor? any sort of cleaning? those are all jobs for immigrants and poor people right? what if someone sees me in public in my stupid work shirt?!?!!

those jobs aren't cool enough for the kid living at home with zero work experience.

i was grinding out full time jobs in the summer by 14. i got no respect for folks who won't pull up the sleeves and get dirty if need be.

Are you kidding me right now? What I meant was that even Costco won't hire me... Because I don't think it takes a lot of skill to be a stocker. And if I was "too good" for it I would not have applied for it a month ago. I have worked jobs in labour (including car detailing, etc.).

If you don't have anything positive to contribute then don't post here. Thank you.

You can thank me when you get a job. Since they are opening lot's of new stores the chance of getting hire is much higher.

Thanks so much for this brah! I didn't even know until now!

For some reason this generation feels as soon as they graduate they are entitle to a 80k+ job and anything below isn't worth their time. Funny thing is these are the same people who have a degree in general science, history, or some useless shit degree. They need a reality check. Even people who have years and years of experience with master are having a tough time looking for work.

Well, it would be nice if we put the skills we learn to use (lab techniques, research, etc.). But I see what you are saying. Speaking for myself and my colleagues, none of us feel we are "entitled" to anything. Sure you can apply for any entry level job, but where is that taking you? That is the real question? Is a job at Costco really going to benefit my career that much in the long run, other than to pay my bills?

Thanks for your input though, just please don't generalize this to everyone in the generation because not all of us are like this.
