What sort of jobs?

Also maybe just put it to the end of your cv, that's what I did, and I got a job in a warehouse

You gotta move to the more populated areas: Seattle, SF, LA, Austin, NY, DC, etc.

If you're applying for menial labor jobs, leave it off. If you're applying for ones that match your skills and degree, obviously leave it.

That said - network, network, network.

If you're willing to move, start applying to your dream entry job everywhere.

If not, there's nothing wrong with leaving it off for jobs that aren't remotely related. But, having a degree is better than not for almost all decent paying jobs.

There are no nuclear power plants in my state; I've been applying all over the country since the week I graduated. That isn't working, so I'm now trying to get a local low-skills job.

Man, networking. If I knew you personally, one of my childhood best friends fathers does the hiring for a major company, and previously worked at San O before it closed.

I'm really trying to think how I could pretend to know you and give him your resume.

I appreciate the sentiment.

how hasn't it been working, specifically?
are they rejecting you before or after interview, giving you a specific reason, etc?

I've had three interviews during that time.

The first one went really well, and they told me they'd call me back in a week. They called me back in a month and said their funding (It was a national lab) got canceled.

I thought the interview for the second one went well (they even paid my travel costs) but apparently I screwed up horribly because I didn't get it, and I actually had to call them to make sure I didn't get it. I'm not autismo, so I'm really at a loss as to what happened.

The third one went well, but got dragged out for over a year due to the department making errors (according to my contact) and they ended up not hiring anyone (it was government).


Bigger problem I guess is that I only got three interviews in all that time.

Thank god I didn't fall for the STEM meme.
