Job Application question.
>graduated college 2 years ago
>tv/media stuff, some interviews with 0 job offers
>did 2 internships during my college for several years
>long story short need quick cash
>start applying to retails stores in the meantime
>0 callbacks in that time
>friend says its because they know i went to college and wont call back
I could see why a manager at Best Buy would opt to hire the 16 year old senior who last worked at pizza hut and has customer experience, over the college graduate who despite the fact that he is more likely dependable and mature, has 'real world' experience and learned some technical skills and will likely leave once a job comes along.
So my 2 most recent jobs are those 2 internships (basically local tv networks). And I completed the degree. If I wanted to work at say Walmart or Best Buy, should I just make up my entire application? Say that I worked at my local supermarket, a local pizzeria, and High School/GED as highest education earned?

Why WOULD you want to work retail after graduating...?

Its been 2 years of applying and not getting jobs. I've had follow up interviews, second interviews, final interviews. Skype, Over the phone. One on one, group interviews. Never gotten a job offer.
I need the money. Living at home. Used up all of my savings. I have enough to pay like 2 months more cell phone bill. See the dissapointment in familys voice. I just need to get out of the house. Make some money. Pay $100 rent, not much but something. And I cant sit around waiting for 'real jobs'. Suck it up and work shit jobs. No choice.

dunno man.
Career wise, like i've said, some interviews, but nothing pans out.
Temporary jobs, I live in a shitty little town. My neighbor feels for me, cause he's said he's never seen the town this dead. every other store on the main street is out of business. Mostly mom and pop stores, people opt to drive out 10 mintues to Walmart and Target, which is why I've turned to applying there. I did have one waiter job for like 4 months on that main st, and that restaurant closed down.
I'll admit, having graduated, i put off looking for temporary jobs for a while, because I felt like LOL I'M A COLLEGE GRAD THOSE ARE BENEATH ME. But now they're the most appealing. I would have to hate to ask my mom for money. Its fucking embarassing as a 24 year old. Doesnt help that I'm the only one not working at home. I can't even afford a haircut right now (if an interviewer even called). that desperate.

Would you consider joining a trade? Blue-collar work could get you as much, or even more money than other white collar/college jobs.
Look for apprenticeships in the meantime
