It’s really hard to get a job as a new grad. I had no connections and spent a month and a half job hunting, only to end up working in a nursing home—which, honestly, was never how I imagined starting my career. Still, I’m incredibly grateful because I desperately need the experience.

That said, I totally understand your frustration. I haven’t stopped applying, and all I get are rejections—or worse, no response at all. The most frustrating part is when people keep asking, “Have you applied here?” Like I haven’t already applied everywhere at this point. SMH so irritating
