I have been unemployed for a year. I cannot seem to get a job. I have applied to many places and out of all those places I have only gotten one interview at Buffalo Wild Wings as a cashier but I did not get that job even with years or experience at a restaurant. After that one interview, I have not gotten a call or anything. I really need help I have books, food, gas, etc to pay and I’m really stressing out because I don’t have a job! Please help, is there any advice you can give me to help me out with a job or what I can do please im desperate!
This is for college, not a job help.
It’s the College Life forum, and for some, that includes working. No need to be snarky if you’re not going to be helpful.
OP, have you looked into any job fairs your college has had? Does your college have some sort of job posting board you haven’t looked into yet?
Your placement office might be able to help, too. Good luck!!
@paul2752 You asked about finding internships a couple months ago…
OP, are you looking for a job after graduating or a job to work during school? If it’s just one for during the semester, try on-campus things like dining halls, the library, and commons desks.
Well now that I see I thought OP was a random person who was NOT in college an looking for job. My apologies, OP.
What do you like to do?
Does your school have a Career Services? My school does and they offer help to help find a job. My school has various places with job listings posted. Also see if you can get workstudy. I finally got it. I don’t make alot of money but it helps out.
I would recommend looking into on-campus jobs, especially if you have work-study. Assuming you’re not a first-semester freshman, you might be able to work as a peer tutor or grader for classes you’ve taken. Or maybe you could be a tour guide or work in the call center at your school.
Another good way is to volunteer at a place you are interested, get some good experience, make some connection and apply for job.
What major are you going for, perhaps there’s some sort of assistant positions you could be applying for?
