I have been trying to find a job for the past 2 years and I have not been able to go further than a round two interview of four. I have applied to multiple jon openings through LinkedIn, Indeed, SimplyHired, and other smaller platforms that I can’t remember because I’ve been through so many. I have tried directly contacting companies asking if they are interested in freelance work or even an opportunity to have an informative interview and nothing. I have tried temp agencies and it’s either truly crappy pay work or they are just not interested in me. I have updated my resume numerous times, I have gone to job fairs and talk with companies and nothing. I have tried to reach out to what little network that I have and they have really not been helpful. Hell, I’ve even tried applying to Walmart and I still got no response and it’s been like 2 months. I just don’t know what to do anymore. If anyone can kindly give me some advice, that would be greatly apperciated.
- I have a Bachelors in Psychology and I have over 5 years of customer service experience.
You’re a psychologist, so perhaps put yourself on Fiverr offering discount therapy?
I think if you’re looking for jobs at Wal-Mart, remove your degree from your resume. It’s a signal you can leave if and when something better comes up.
Second the advice to remove your degree for low-paying work. I had some insight into hiring when I was young and saw a ton of well-educated people get their resumes tossed because the hiring manager assumed they would leave right away.
To these hiring managers: Educated people need to eat too, jackass.
I believe a psychologist needs a doctorate or PhD, a therapist needs a master’s. You can’t do a lot with a bachelor’s, at least where I live
psychology and therapy are two very different fields. I agree with the resume idea though
