Sharing some frustrations
I think I've just had my most ridiculous rejection yet. I graduated May of 2025 with a degree in environmental science, and since then I have had only 3 interviews. 2 rejections and 1 didn't even contact me afterwards. I'm currently working at a retail store, which honestly hasn't been in too bad since I just started accepting the situation.
Now for my most recent rejection. A position opened for a parks laborer in my county, essentially just maintaining the grounds of the park. It was 18 dollars an hour, barely above what I'm getting paid In retail now. I have a college degree, retail experience, AND my sister works in the county and recommended me to the person who runs it. I thought that would FINALLY be my ticket to at least starting in something in my field.
Nope. Rejected. No interview. Too many qualified candidates. I feel like I'm just losing all hope at this point. I was told to go to college cause it would get me a great paying job, and now I can barely get an interview anywhere.
