As a newly graduate from college my standards have increased as far as what duties I look for a job to possess. If it does not benefit where I ‘am headed, then I have no interest in it because I feel as though it is a step back versus the career direction I ‘am headed towards. I have noticed that the jobs I have applied for look for what you have done that can benefit them, not what you have done previously. And it is quit humbling to see my application get rejected when I know personally that I’m capable of doing what ever job I applied for, but employers do not know that because they just look at the key highlights that benefit them on your application or resume.

It’s not easy getting a job but I’m sure you’ll finally get one that is good for you and you’ll be happy in there!! 🙂
I do have a job, but the search becomes more thorough as I get into what I studied in school.
Hmm… if what you studied is quite specific then usually they’d be more picky… or they’d take someone who would take bonds with them … (that is sometimes what happened in my country) … but don’t worry, you’ll eventually get one of your choice 🙂
I’m sure it will take a while to find after what I have experienced this far.
I am so surprised at this. The job for you is out there. I know you will continue looking.
I’m searching as I reply this Carol ; ) The search becomes more thorough as I get into what I studied in school.
You will find it, just keep going!
Thanks, Carol. And that I’am doing ; )
I can pray for you , hope my prayer will help you
I’ll definitely take your prayer, Witty. And thank you very much. I do have a job, but I’am in search for a job pertaining to my degree of studies which becomes a totally different level of search.
even with your military service? I would think college grad, a military person would scream hire me!
Few look at it, if they look at it at all. I was recently contacted by an employer who loved it, but I couldn’t take the job due to having another on the date they need me to work.
I am saddened to hear that. It should be them lining up for you!
My military service which includes several billets held, a college degree, and years worked with adults with disabilities ranging from autism, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc shouldn’t be over looked.
It should not be overlooked!
quite humbling I imagine. Perhaps you should hire a professional to write your resume. I know that in the company where I work references are key and there are key words and specific formats in resumes they are looking for.
I will consider it in the future. Lately I have been tweaking my resume with information pertaining to where I want to go job wise.
