@Frondeur@IAMAL_PHARIUS I'm at a year and half and probably over 200 rejected applications. Most aren't actually rejecting, they just don't call you back. I think I've gotten 2 or 3 interviews so far maybe? One of which I got rejected not even 45 minutes after the interview. I have an excellent resume for my age too.
I'm not just talking good jobs either, the shitty entry level jobs I'm applying to in the meantime aren't calling back either. I have no clue what's going on. Are the job postings fake to make the job market look better? Are they just not hiring White guys? No clue. IDK how to get a job outside of nepotism or being brown/female/etc. I've experimented with listing myself as native American and disabled on some applications, hadn't had much luck with that either.
I'm on the verge of just taking some shitty English teacher, or English call center position in another country at this point. I don't think I even qualify for unemployment gibs because I didn't lose a job in the first place.
@Frondeur I've applied to everything from entry level tech jobs, to govt researcher jobs, to car dealerships and starbucks lol. everything under the sun that I am even tangentially qualified for.
Probably going to try and find a fully funded phd program, that way I could at least work while improving my education/resume.
@Vril_Oreilly that was my strategy...it can still be hard though...equally if not more so dei...but i went not top tier phd programs so i could work at same time...
