I'm finna hit rock bottom lads. I'm 23 and recently

If I spend another summer unemployed at home, I'm going to sink back into the downward spiral. I feel like a teenager trying to get a first job but keeps getting denied because he has no experience. How am I supposed to get experience if you need experience to get experience lmao, nice system.

Two points:

The average job hunt takes 6 months, so you are very premature in your panic.

And job ads are wishlists, descriptions of the ideal candidate. If that perfect person doesn't apply, they'll take the best of those who do.

In particular, any request for 2 or 3 years experience will consider a beginner if you impress them. I know a few people fresh out of school who talked/interviewed/impressed their way into jobs that had asked for experience.

ok, but how can I impress them if my grades were average to above average. Most of them require excellent knowledge of the fauna and flora but I've never worked in the field so I can't identify species as well as someone who did. I'll keep that in mind though, my friend suggested to try applying to places even if I don't have the required experience.

Its funny how young people have these fantasies about life. Anon move to where the jobs are. Apply to everything. Take whats available. Look for something better in your spare time.

Go work in a kitchen while you look for something better. Pay is shitty, but living at home allows you pay off your loans quickly. Most places will train someone with a good work ethic.

>one interview per month of search

Anon, you need to try harder. Constantly apply to anything remotely related to your field and look everywhere. I'm talking five applications sent out a day. You need experience and can't get it if you don't put yourself in those shitty entry level positions. You should also be working a part time job, because you need references and money. A lot of science jobs are unpaid or seasonal at your level. If you have to, save up and move to where the jobs are.

you know nothing anon

Living at home sucks (I had to move back twice since graduating) but you can save money and network. Work part time if you can't handle too many hours at your shit job. You need to be applying to jobs every day, or at least several times each week. This is the economy now and it takes time to find a job.

Consider looking for an Americorps program related to your degree. I did that; it was fun, got experience, made lots of job connections, and they give you over $5000 towards your student loans or further education. Lots of girls in the program too, they don't call it AmeriScore for nothing.

your entire university was experience, 4+ years of it.

stop being a cuck.

So you're telling me in 4 years of college the only experience you have is a summer job that wasn't even related to biology? This is the problem, you didn't do anything in college, hell you even said that you have bad grades. I've worked 3000+ hours in my field between work and volunteering, graduating in a couple weeks. The problem was you didn't do anything while at school, expect school, why do so many people expect that a degree is a free job, you have to be doing things before you graduate.

A bachelor's in Canada is 3 years but it's not like I didn't try. I tried to get internships at my uni but they only select the ones with the best grades. It's too late now, there are a lot of things I would've done differently if I could go back to being a student.

I think that's what I'll have to do but I really wanted to experience the city life. I can't really move out before finding a job though.

What are some decent minimum wage jobs where there's no stress and the people are friendly?

starting to feel the depression crawling back to me, I don't even do anything of my days anymore except mindlessly looking at job postings.
