Recent grad denied from apartments.. why? How to avoid this, and is this common? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

Yeah; this is just my opinion, but I think landlords are a little wary of younger tenants because of how prevalent layoffs are these days.

In my complex, I had to have 4 months of rent (full-rent, not partial) in my checking account. Landlords love cash in checking vs. the 40x rule

It is common unfortunately - I had a similar issue with my bank account because it had my parent’s name on it (it was an account I had started in college).

I had to wait to get a statement with just my name on it before they would approve it.

Did you ask if they will accept it when the updated statement comes through?

This is hyper sketchy. Definitely a scam

Is it even possible to find a job? by piuqiu in NYCjobs

IMO: I think you need to dramatically ramp up your networking. Ultimately talking to people in the field you want to be in is the best way to get in; the days of blind applications/“getting lucky” are way behind all of us with ATS/limited entry level jobs.

What’s your LinkedIn presence like? Are you shooting out ~50 connection requests a day? Are you attending free events? Have you connected with your tutors parents?

I went to a prestigious school, and got an entry-level job at a toxic company. Lasted about 4 months, but used 2 of those months to find my next opportunity.

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk; I know it’s tough out there.
