Endless searching

All I've been doing is putting in applications for jobs. It seems as though it's a job in itself. I go through newspapers, and online job searches for a job that I can do at home or nearby home. I've applied to all of them. Then you come across the job databases that require a membership fee. Why do you have to pay to find a job? Or the work at home scams--you got to make a one-time fee. For some us us current college students and/or grads, we may not have this investment. So we got to keep on looking. Then when I do find a legit job, I'm not qualified enough. Of course not; I am still in college so I don't have work-related experience. maybe if I prove myself more worthy of this job, they'll consider me anyhow.

It really does seem as though the whole process involves nothing but applying and being rejected. Eventually, we all have our turn at biting the apple -- several times.

If the stream of rejections come in the same manner, consider a few things. There may be something about the way you're presenting yourself that doesn't let your real abilities shine. Re-read your resume with a critical eye, as though you were looking at it from the hiring manager's viewpoint.

The other thing to consider is that what you're pursuing is in a tight job market and it just takes more research on finding open positions. More research needs to be done.

Take heart.
