Well my reason for that advice was because you don’t have a whole lot going for you in regards of an employer’s perspective so you really need something to improve your resume. And any low-level office job you can get will at the very least improve your resume especially if it’s at a notable company because the key in your circumstance is to get interviews cause you have no chance at your resume/background guaranteeing you a job (at least right now).
Even if it’s unrelated to want to do, is it still a good idea for a short term job? I’m just worried about getting job experience in the wrong field and getting stuck there.
Well the key is when writing your resume is to describe your responsibilities at that previous job to suit whatever job you’re applying to. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s going to drastically increase your job outlook. I’m just saying you really have nothing atm so anything is better than nothing.
Ok. Thanks for the advice.
Problem is the only entry related I can find are in sales, trucking, or fast food. It seems like every other occupation. I’ve done sales and I’m working in fast food, and I sure don’t want another in those areas. Is like that everywhere?
If you’ll pursue on the thought of taking another bachelor then I think it’s best to take a course you’re really confident of getting high grades from. Because if not you might just waste your time on it.
If you got a 2.7gpa in mass comm, I would not recommend you going into vet tech or any science-related field unless math and science is your absolute strong suit. My sister majored in animal science with the prospect of being a vet tech but she ended up with less than a 2.5gpa due to how difficult the upper division science courses were. If you’re not good at math and science, think of how much lower your gpa would be compared to mass communication if you were to pursue a 2nd bachelor in those areas.
While my math could be better, I think I can overcome it. But don’t know what else is there, because I’m not looking for work at home job and I’m never ever going into apply for sales, retail, or fast food ever again unless my life depended on it. Not even if they pay me $15 an hour.
You should not look for a point B job. Just the next step to it. If you worked at social work, you could get better communications experience, managerial (oh the reports and paperwork), at an animal care, you could offer to run their social media dept (most don’t have one officially) and then write a business plan on what they should do for the next year…etc, etc.
I was only in communications because I liked writing, movies, and TV. But social networking is really something I’m good at or looking for, I’m too introverted and not great at multi-tasking. But thanks for the advice.
