Of course, the job market is struggling the year I graduate college. Countless applications and even more denials, yet I have experience and a decent resume. This is weird and I don't know where to go from here... Really don't want to have to face my family and parents without a job.

    University usually have advisors and/or counselors. Also network with your professors and alumni. Get plugged into the groups supporting your major to find mentors and folks you can add to your network.

    That's how my partner found his current job.

    If you have an honor society or yes a networking society in your field of study, that could be a source too. Do you have volunteer experience? Can you get further part-time accreditation in skills that can build your experience? Like taking a short certificate course? Did you have any courses that include work or practicum experience? All of that could get your resume noticed. Also practice and polish your interview skills and create a short summary of your self and your experience to have at your fingertips. So crucial!

    Open up your search, take a starting anything in your first steps into your career, going for gold is not going to happen. BUT, I would say congrats on your graduation, that is a great accomplishment all on its own! Hoping they would feel the same.

    The job market is hard. I think (hope) that you are judging yourself harder than your family/parents would. For me, the transition from college to post-college life was a massive culture shock. That said, some thoughts:

    Tell EVERYONE you are looking, networking is key

    Take every single interview, at a minimum it is good practice

    Take advantage of your school's career services department services. All of them.

    Some colleges have opportunities to network with alumni

    Wishing you the best of luck!

    I'm sorry that the job market is a struggle that is causing you to not want to face family, but they probably want to be there for you. To support and encourage you. They've probably experienced job loss or had close family/friends in similar situations. If you ask, I bet they'll be there for you. Let you know it's okay that something worthy of your presence will come along.

    In the meantime, don't take this job market personally. I struggled after the great recession in 2009 to ensure I never struggled again only to realize I had become my own monster with long hours and constant need to say YES to everything. Keep living your life -- non-work life the best you can. That will always be there, just like your family.
