Hellooo, I'm having trouble landing a job during my senior year in college.
I'm majoring in psychology, and am not sure about what my next steps will be. I've done ABA, and administrative jobs, but I'm trying to figure out what to pursue next and this job market is tough. In addition, this is the longest I've been unemployed, and I've been rejected by everything from supermarkets to Physical Therapy Aides. I want to clarify that I've made it to interviews, but keep getting ghosted by interviewers or rejected in last stages. Any advice or new perspectives?

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

Have you tried the school district in your area or neighboring area. My daughter in law is doing an externship for her masters in psychology and she’s getting paid a salary and receiving credit. Also reaching out to your schools career development department could be very helpful. If you’re interested in a higher degree after you may be able to find a program that has some sort of internship that goes along with it. Best of luck!

DEFINITELY meet with someone in your college's career services department. They can connect you with employers who are actually hiring, after reviewing your resume, helping you make any needed changes, and even giving you practice interviews with feedback. Please check two things right away: one is that your voicemail greeting is professional (yes, some employers still use voicemail. When people have an unprofessional greeting, employers are likely to hang up.) Also make sure that the email address you give to employers is just initials or first and last name without providing your age--maryjones@email.com or mbjones@email.com, not maryjones2004@email.comand definitely not anything that references alcohol,drugs, etc. I had one student whose email address had a marijuana reference and he wondered why no one was calling him for interviews. I told him that I don't judge him, but employers will-- get a different email address immediately if that's the case. Also watch your social media presence; be careful what you post and what you click "like" on.

Thank you a lot for your response. I made an appointment with my college career services, and I'll keep working on my interview skills. I did not know that providing your age in your email, or the year you were born was something to be wary about. I will keep improving, but thank you so much again.
