Job Seekers,
Applying for jobs, it's a love hate relationship. It takes a long time to apply for jobs but the more you apply for, the more chances of landing a job. Applying for jobs is a job in itself. But there are so many resources. I just stumbled upon LinkedIn's Job Search App for your phone. So while you're on the bus, waiting at the doctor's office, or hanging out bored, you can save/ apply for jobs right from your phone. That is impressive. I literally saved around 15 jobs on the app. When I go home and sign in to my LinkedIn account, those jobs are all saved for me to apply. That's the hard part though, the part of actually going home and taking the time to apply for those jobs is the hate part. I hate actually clicking "submit". That is literally the hardest part. Cool I have a resume. Great I created a custom cover letter for this specific company. Submit?? What if I forgot something?! What if there's a typo!? I am so tired of looking at my resume. It is constantly changing. Is this cover letter custom enough?? Will they even read it?? There are so many ways to say how well I can work on the computer, or that I am self motivated. How many times do I have to just say that I have a college education and I need a source of income people! Hire me and see for yourself!! ---Oh wait, there's me plus the 10,000 hundred million other kids who have also graduated and are looking for jobs. Greaaaaat.
Now that I am a year out of school, I can move my education from the top of my resume to the bottom. Love-hate relationship. So, cool I'm moving up in the world! But weird now I have experience. I can apply for Associate jobs! I'm no longer entry-level? When I see links to "For College Graduates", that doesn't apply to me anymore? Nope! I am a well-rounded, out-going young lady with experience (some), ready to learn and jump into my career! I have two jobs working 7 days a week constantly keeping my brain wired. Bring it on experience! I am ready to jump in for more.
