Something To Do In The Meantime?
Do you keep hearing that you're perfect for the position but you just lack experience? Well, maybe it's time to take a break from the conventional entry-level job search and take a less conventional entry-level job. A lack of experience is a huge problem that a lot of grads are facing right now. It's been discussed on this blog more than a handful of times and is obviously something with which a lot of us are dealing. So what do we do? First of all, stop stressing! We're young! The rest of your life hasn't started yet and that's okay.
Getting a less glamorous entry-level job like waitressing or bartending or (heaven forbid) a retail job, may not be a bad idea. I know how hard rejection can be on your self-esteem, which can be hard on your interviews. Getting a part-time entry-level job could free up time to explore your options and even find a way to take an unpaid internship and get that experience that you're desperately lacking.
Remember: It doesn't have to be now or never.
