I've been applying to jobs for like 5 months now
I must have submitted over 150 applications to various local companies, and have only had 3 interviews, each of which went no where

it's getting harder and harder to keep at this, my depression already makes it hard for me to keep a job and now it's interfering with actually even getting one in the first place.

It's become even more difficult now that my phone has been turned off

Is there anyone in the houston area that needs that needs any work of any sort done? I'm experienced with computer repair, but I'm willing to do basically anything right now. I'm desperate.

5 months? Cute.

Here's some interview tips to make a good impression. This goes for all the NEETs that browse the board.

>look clean, dress in good clothes like a button up shirt and slacks, costs 60-80 dollars at the GAP if you shop right and go to the clearance rack. Don't be afraid to thrift, just don't get things with holes in them. Jeans is acceptable for most small-time positions.
>try to keep your posture straight and your head up. Be very conscious and aware of it. Look your employer in the eye, speak confidently (don't raise your volume but speak clearly)
>always mention you're looking for "advancement opportunities". This basically means that you're willing to work for a promotion, and want to aspire into a leadership position. Always a plus.
>never mention you've stolen anything
>promise them you're a hard worker (this doesn't really mean anything, just applies to confidence)
>don't blow up your resume to look super appealing. If you've been doing grunt work in the past, own it. If you blow up your resume with a bunch of filler words to make yourself look better, your employer will see through that. The exception is for high-end positions in corporations and such, where they're looking for as much FAKE exuberance as possible.
>if you're a girl and good looking, flirting can be helpful, but will give you an unprofessional air and might not get you promotions depending on the manager.
>take a shower and put on deoderant

Not going to guarantee you anything, but this stuff is gold and is the general advice given by hiring managers everywhere! Good luck anons.

its a problem with current ways of job applications. its all online and so many get tossed out with out ever being looking at just by algorithms. And since its so easy to apply places there is a huge glut of GARBAGE so they just toss shit out. You say youve done like 150

maybe 20 were even glanced at by a real person. Instead of massive places that take shit tons of apps just find a place that has a less easily accessible way to apply to. That position is WAAAAAY more likely to have less people applying and more real people reading the apps.

Hit up a temp agency. I run background checks at my job and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that get steady work through them. If you do good enough, you might get hired on by the place the agency sent you to.

Dishwashing! I did it several times in foreign cities to land on my feet. Instant dope connection, free food, beer and buds to hang with. And then that paycheck.

If you want to move up, say so. Tell the owners you want to make salads. Boom, you're a sous. Do it, bitch. And stop showing up for work late.

I forgot to mention. Call in about 3-7 days after you sent in your application and ask to speak to the manager. Call early in the morning so there isn't a rush of work to do. This'll bump you up to the people who they consider "qualified" most of the time.

Fuck m8 you need to put actual skills/shit you know in bulleted format that top part looks barren (ex tcp/ip, soho routers, Microsoft server 2012 r2, etc). Also I hope you have a cover letter. Fix your spacing also it's inconsistent.
>>
>>733872552
Where's your previous experience? Where's your education?
>>
>>733872488
you NEED to put more detail on your Education section.
>>
>>733872978
>>education
>>GED


I think I found your problem. Bad early life choices can severely limit your current prospects... Its an employers market, and you're rotten meat. No one is going to want you.
>>
>>733872488
Not bad. Condense this shit. ONE PAGE. No business gives a fuck about flipping past a staple or bind. Your bullet points should be more like 'SHIT I ACCOMPLISHED' and not 'job responsibility I, job responsibility II.' Less of those accomplishments is much more important than a million mundane responsibilities.

Each bullet point should fill the whole line. Less white space = better. From afar, it looks empty right now.

List out at least your certs, and put your education filed after the work experience. They care more about work than your GED, and that's not a good place to start anyway.

Again, one page, so take that skills section and maybe turn it into a divided table before or after your work section. To make sure it all fits, divid your skills like you are right now, but just list them inline:

"OS proficiencies: Windows (2000/XP/7/8/10, Windows Server (2008..."

Productivity Software Exp.: Microsoft..., Google...,"

You get my point. I would say put your skills before work experience, but up to you.

Seriously, make it fit on one page.

>>
>>733872968
Lol no wonder you aren't getting in see I just pulled an employer and only read the first page all your meat is in the second. Pro tip this is really important I hope you see this. Unless you have a lot of years under your belt ONLY USE ONE PAGE DAMNIT!!!! I skimmed your first page and easily dismissed it for not having any unique skills. Combine both and work out the spacing

>>
>>733872488
>>733872552
What the fuck is this, a two page resume? No one wants two read two pages, and you have plenty of whitespace to make it fit on one page anyway. Hell, your OS and language skills can go one one line each.

When and where did you get your GED? What various certifications do you have? These are questions that potential employers want your resume to answer.

Have you considered enrolling in a local college and taking a few courses? That shows folks that you're looking for advancement, and you can list the courses you take on your resume to add credentials.

Those are a few critiques off the top of my head. Hope it helps!

>>733873412

Oh, and make this thing immaculate. Absolutely no grammar mistakes, but for your bullet points, incomplete sentences is fine. Start them with an verb like you are but put it in past tense.

Don't mention anything about "willing to train." You should be talking about how your current skills will contribute to the company, not how you are willing to reap value from the company.
>>
>>733869822
I agree with this guy about the hard to apply for jobs. I applied for a job, and didnt read the application requirements fully, and forgot two mojor things for them. The thing was that the position required an application be mailed to them. I got a call back and an email stating that they wanted me to complete the stuff. After I submitted the stuff, they called for an interview. Unfortunately the position paid too little, and I had to decline, but it is what it is. Most people wont apply for jobs where it is difficult to apply.

Oh, and don't forget to cater your resume to the job to which you're applying. If you're looking for a job as a programmer, list your GitHub page and describe some projects that you've worked on. Have sections "Work Experience" and "Project Experience" to make the distinction. Heck, it might even be worth listing your projects first, with your work experience below it.

Already looking much better! Most of my critiques now are minor technical things, but you never know why someone might throw out a resume: keep your font size consistent between the sections (skills font is awkwardly larger), make sure you have the same tyoe of dash separating your dates (yes, seriously), etc. I'm also not sure how I feel about the skills summary section - honestly, you could probably get rid of the whole thing and nothing of value would be lost.

Alaska is ridiculously expensive to live and the economy is in shambles. I'm currently paying 700$ a month for a 20x10 cabin 25 minutes outside of town. Only people who really live off the land are the natives in villages up north. But they even they get fat checks from the oil companies each year.

assuming someone is making min wage it would take almost 2 weeks pay to kill off that rent.
Then you factor in gas for vehicle, expensive imported food and other shit...

But if you had a job paying closer to 20 an hour you'd be fine I guess.

to build on what that anon said, you can make your skills section even smaller. Like I said earlier, it doesn't have to be

SECTION NAME
bullet point
bullet point
....

Use a nice two column table and divide the left and right field into:

Section name | skill I, skill II, skill II
Section name | skill I, skill II, etc...

That will shrink that section by half, at least. Also, switch to past-tense verbs in work experience.

Otherwise, big improvement, anon! I'm rooting for you.

Yeah, but if you can't articulate your experience, you're doing something wrong or lying about how much you have. I can almost guarantee, companies will care more about how well you speak about your subject and how well you perform on their challenge projects than whether you've got a CS degree or not, unless you're going into some really math-intensive, technical field that requires the theory.
>>
>>733879145
That's just what the recommended threshold is. Lots of people (most actually) don't meet that. It's certainly possible to afford that making ~$20k per year. But you won't have much left over after rent and other necessary expenses.

do you know that a courier is ? u would pretty much just deliver medicine to nursing homes i could put you on stats always need stat drivers

Dude, although you might not be able to get into Uni or college, you can also take very specific courses on general jobs things.
Just knowing a bunch of programming languages and knowing computer stuff will not get you very far in the whole market, only a little bit in the already saturated IT market.
Try to get a job at some walmart, and maybe learn to work as a painter, a plumber, or maybe construction. Maybe even mc donalds
I know it's not a lot, but once you finish these courses, you can maybe get a job as a plumber that may give you more than minimum wage.
Now your problem is getting money, THEN it should be working on something you like

I've been unemployed since 2002, laid off from Boeing.
Lived on savings, picked up misc work from repairing computers to sign shops.
Been living with parents, taking care of them as grow old and sick.
Was doing well for a few years selling painting, sculpey figures, jewelry (handmade from casting metal, have my own kiln)...
Around October last year everything fell to shit. No sales, money depleting, previous customers no longer buying.
About time to start improving the employment pool by killing off as many people as possible. Should be easier to get a job when the world population is back below 5billion.

I have first-hand experience in exactly what we are talking about right now, and I'm surrounded by "CS inclined" people every day. Trust me, I realize that non-CS workers can be looked down upon by those with degrees, but it makes me laugh because many of them still have to go through a training program to get their coding skills up to snuff.

as a courier you would be a contract driver. its not per diem its u get payed per assignment type deal minimum is 20 bucks but u live in pearland no idea where in pearland though are u close to the beltway 8? the closer the better since u would get to pharmacy fast and w.e i need drivers that live close to pharmacy.
pay can be as high as 200 for 1 stat but u would be driving alot of miles like i said u would be a contractor.

examples are like this

Then your company is fucking up. I work at a large tech company in Silicon Valley, and this is barely a problem at all. They hire tons of fresh college grads. Only a tiny, tiny percentage of engineers there don't have a degree.

This is an overplayed myth. Anyone who went through a CS degree and actually wanted to be doing it or liked it built up their skills and did projects outside school on top of their coursework.

That is the lowest I could find. If I were closer to town it would be 900-1000 easy. My last apartment was 950 for a one bedroom in anchorage. Then factor in food having to be imported, high utility bills etc and its very very expensive. A bit higher than Hawaii which is traditionally toward the highest in the nation.

They recently cut the pfd to 1000 a month. Rent is expensive because although there is a ton of land most building materials have to be shipped up. The government also owns a ton of land in the state so it severely cuts down on what is available.

Look into cell site integration.

Get to travel while company pays for your gas and hotels, make a decent amount if you don't have a degree, plus making $18 an hour while barely doing any work is dope.

At least you're having better luck then most. Statistically speaking only one out of 200 applications are hired.

>>733869822
Yeah my GF was going through applications for jobs for her boss and they had over 150, only a handful actually had credentials. The job is basically assistant manager and she was getting resumes like

>Applicants name
>Work experience:
>Taco Bell, 1 year
>Walmart, 2 years
>Email + Phone number of applicant

Shit gets overwhelming flooded. You also have companies designed to get other businesses looking for jobs thousands of resumes. Competition in the job market is way more intense than it ever was because of online applications. That's why it's great to apply in person whenever you can. Or know someone.

Go apply at Whole Foods Market. They are always looking for people to work in the prepared foods section. Its fast paced and a lot of work plus you deal with rich asshole. Most people can't handle it but the pay is great. If you're really serious go there. Trust me OP its the best chance. Hell, check for dishwashers and night stocking crew. Grueling work but the pay makes it worth it

The climate right now is ridiculous for anyone coming in at entry level... no matter what degree or skills you've built up, if you don't have a reference or someone who knows a guy to get you in.

Vocational/trade school seems to be much better for someone trying to actually land a job relatively quickly.
