Hi, this may serve as just an eye-opener but please don’t panic as you literally have time on your side. I am 30 and detest my work history because I felt rushed and pressured into making bad fit decisions on behalf of making a little money, and temporarily losing touch with my dignity while doing so, as well as not thinking about my future and how these job decisions might later impact my mental emotional wellbeing. In fact, I am still reeling after my PAST job history however it has got my determined to assess what truly matters and I’ve learned so much about myself, likes, dislikes, strengths and RESPECTING my own weaknesses, not necessarily wanting to “work on them” when I can just focus on my strengths, and there IS something out there for you, but I would honestly pick something based not merely on financial or trying to fit in with peers or start “adulting”, but to pick something that will build on a solid path to a solid career, not job hopping because you keep making errors in judgement or feel pressured (especially by outside forces, as I have!) this will make you feel confused and worse to feel stuck in industries that aren’t letting you be genuinely you and contribute what unique value you may have. I wish I could take back a lot of my choices, now I am into my 30th decade and finally seeing work for what it should be, which is not merely money and status, but finding a way to express authentic talent, even natural born, not only from education.
Don’t panic, don’t rush. You don’t have to be a “begger” as I have been told I had to be in my 20s. You have power of choice.

One thing that I found a successful practice was to create a LinkedIn profile. I also returned to school to earn my Bachelors degree while in my late 30's and raising a family. You have so many opportunities. Would this be your first job? Are you an active volunteer in your community? It is a difficult job market, currently, but I wouldn't give up! I am currently employed through a temp agency as an Accounts Payable Clerk. It's not a difficult job and pays decently. Best wishes in your search and continue to network!

Hi there! This has to feel like a really scary time to be entering the workforce. What kind of jobs are you looking for?

What are you doing to look for a job? Are you networking? Have you assessed your skills to identify what you have to offer to an employer? (What education have you accrued? Do you have good communication skills? Are you organized? Punctual? Creative? Adaptable? Friendly?) Have you only applied to positions that are posted online?

This sounds like a call for help. There are people on here who manage and hire. The trick is, you have done a few things to sabotage this request:
1) you have posted anonymously
2) you have not said specifically what you are looking for
3) you have not mentioned any skill sets that you bring to the table.
This type of request will go largely ignored for the reasons stated above. People do want to help, but you have to help them help you.
Building relationships is your best way to get a job. When people find out who you are and what you like to do, provided you have some level of competency, they will be inclined to think of you when they have a job opening.
Think about an interview more as a way to get to know potential employers and see if you would be a good fit.
